You can get parts from any hardware store. They have them at Walmart. You can order from Amazon too. So lots of options. Here’s an Amazon link:

It’s cheaper at Walmart by a couple dollars. You can shop around by searching for “toilet tank repair kit.”

The kits come with fairly good instructions on changing out all the parts. If you need something a little more in depth or like watching videos check out YouTube. Here’s a video link for the kit in the Amazon link:

These style mouse traps are the best. Easy to bait, easy to set, nearly impossible to get the bait without setting it off. A dab of peanut butter in the reservoir works well.

An excellent tactic that works really well with stubborn mice is to bait the traps but DO NOT SET IT for several days. Re-bait as necessary. Mice get used to a free meal at the traps every day. Then one day, bait and set them all, you'll get a mouse in every one.

After you get it cleaned out, buy one of these. Just clean it out every time you shower and you'll never have a problem again.

I’ve fixed my own a couple of times, but I’m no expert. Use something like this, your local hardware store should carry something comparable. There are videos on YouTube as well. However, eventually you will have to replace the tub. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006ZHVLYG/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T4QCK207EX5PNZTT373M&dpPl=1&dpID=81rP39r9QOL

Use a screw driver to pry off the cap. Check youtube to see what I mean.

Of course, you don't need to remove any of this to grease them, you can use any aerosol lubricant that is able to use volatiles as a carrier to deposit the lube into the joint, then evaporates leaving the lube in place.

Silicon spray is perfect for door hinges. Won't leave any visible nastiness either.

I've been using these IKEA mirrors for years, but have had the devil of a time trying to mount them safely and effectively. They weigh about 1 lb each.

Reusable Scotch strips don't seem to do the trick (the mirrors fall after a day or so).
Permanent mounting tape holds... but rips up the wall on removal.

Are there any other options?

I'm lazy, I just use a $6 plug-in outlet tester.

Get a ZipIt, stick it drown the drain and it will likely pull a giant hair snake out of the drain.

You can pickup a simple outlet test tool for very, very cheap: https://smile.amazon.com/Sperry-Instruments-GFI6302-Outlet-Tester/dp/B000RUL2UU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488298170&sr=8-1&keywords=GFCI+test

I have one and use one to service homes new and old to test for common wiring fault problems. This could help you eliminate wiring issues from the problem.
