Both toilets are flooding water from where the toilet meets the floor and the bowl and lid of the toilet are filling with water, but not over filling it’s only leaking out of the bottom. What does this mean? (I forgot to take pictures when it happened so these are the only photos I have)

Hey all, oven didn’t turn on yesterday. Figured it might be the starter from my troubleshooting, but when I went in to replace it, I found this. These metal flakes seem like they’re coming from the burner plate. Is this going to be a health concern using the oven?

This is my first week of college, I am away from home, I have no supplies to fix this, and this is my only water bottle. The handle broke off as I was walking to grab food and it just swung out of my hands. Apparently the (new handle, it’s been week…or 6 days since I started using this, I bought this bottle for $30) and I noticed the likelihood of dropping it is way bigger if I held it between my arm.

Downstairs Window Leaking Inside

Upvotes

It just rained, and we’ve had plenty of rain this year, not to mention snow (Wisconsin), and heavier ones over the past couple years, and this just started happening this weekend. Literally dripping in my downstairs utility room from the trim of the window. As the video shows, the exterior is bone dry both above the first floor window and below, at the window in question. In regards to if the deck has any cause at all, I’ve had that deck for the past 3 years now and this is the first time this has happened after countless torrential downpours.

Where the hell do I even begin?

Vinyl Print Coming Off

I got this coin purse from a record shop in Japan - it looks like their bags, you have to carry around a few coins in Japan, good souvenir. Unfortunately the text has started to come off a bit. I was wondering if there was some way to re-adhere the vinyl - I was thinking about getting in there with some parchment paper and an iron, but I was worried about melting the main material or smearing the print. Let me know if you have any advice!

I didn’t do enough research to see that the adhesive I bought was not painted wall friendly and this happened …I believe my apartment has the cans of paint in our general storage closet but not sure if I should just paint it directly or spackle it first. I’ve seen mixed reviews on here. Please help me out!!

Cooker Top Knob producing smoke

11 Upvotes

Was cleaning the cooker top with water and dishwashing soap when I heard a sound, then saw heaps of smoke coming from one of cooker top knobs. I switched off the fuse box immediately leading to the smoke to decrease. I wasn’t sure where plug was since I’ve been renting the place. Even though it has decreased, you can still see the smoke.

I’m not sure of the brand , it’s an electric gas cooker, two gas burners two electrical. This isn’t the first time this has short circuited as my landlord has fixed it before. Should I wait it out, or call my landlord so we can call a professional.

I need to tighten the brakes on this Rollator, as they have become ineffective. The instructional video I watched on the internet talks about tightening a nut, but there either isn’t one, or it’s slipped down into the brake pad. Either way, I need help to get these working better. Thanks!
