Mower (riding) was running great when I stopped it. Now it won't do anything. I've checked the wiring and everything else I could think of to check. Won't turn over or do nothing.Any answers?

I own a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wrist watch. It is the automatic winding type so I have to wear it always to keep it ticking and in time. This by the way is cool, but my problem is that it loses time. In 24 hours, it loses around 15 mins. Is this normal and to be expected, or am i not mobile enough for it to wind itself, or is this a defect that needs rectification.
By the way, I am very busy most of the time (unless when sleeping). So I doubt that the problem is mobility.

I live in a brick bungalo in Chicago and all bungalows have 2-3 openings on the basement floor that lead to the sewer. They are covered by a slotted grate, usually cast iron. I'm trying to find out what that grate is called and where I can buy replacement.

I already asked a question about my refrigerator leaking ON THE INSIDE so I'm going to go in search of a hose that may be blocked. During this process I discovered there is no drip pan UNDER the fridge. I thought they all had them? My fridge is at least 5 years old (it came with the house).

My friend has this silver Timex watch and the back fell off. Neither of us can get the thing back in. I mean, it's the removable back part of the watch where the battery goes, so we know this thing should just pop back in or something, but we can't get it to pop back in. Is there a trick to getting the back of the watch back into place? (without getting a jeweler involved) Any suggestions would be super helpful. : )

I work in a hotel and we have a ceramic tiled hot tub. A couple of tiles have come off but I cannot drain the tub and wait days for the grout to dry.
Is there a glue that I can use underwater ?

I found a hairline crack on a copper pipe that's buried underneath our garden that runs into our main house. Water has been leaking from the hairline crack. Is there a way to patch the hairline crack without having to replace the pipe?

I either have no hot water or it takes forever to kick in. I live in a cheap place and I guess I'm starting to realize why it may be so cheap. What can I do about the hot water? The owners of the building are kindof slum landlords too. I can't afford to move so please don't suggest that.

In Califonia the signage reads "The Home Depot". Some have said that in the Midwest the signage reads "Home Depot". Can anyone confirm this?

The toilet tank, after a flush, emptied out. The water drained out but the toilet tank doesn't refill. No water is coming in through the refill tube. I've giggled everything and nothing happens. I don't know if something is the matter with the switch or if, perhaps, there is mineral buildup clogging the refill line so nothing comes out? Is there any way for me to determine where the problem is? Does this sound like a 'fix it yourself' problem or do I need to get professional help?

Thanks
