I'm looking to buy an in-line water filter/cooler for my office (25ish people), preferably one of the ones you just attach to an existing sink and they come up with an extra spigot. Any recommendations? Anything in particular I should look for or be wary of feature-wise?

I've got a kitchen sink where both sides are not draining. I've been plunging it for awhile, pulled up a bunch of debris while doing it, and used a shop vac to pull it out of the sink. I'm plunging one side at a time, and sealing the other side while I do it. Am I wasting my time continuing to try this? It definitely seems to be draining faster than it was when I started, but is it time to pull out the trap and pull out the snake, or might I finally bust through with the plunger if I continue?

Small, two-bedroom apartment, shared with a roommate; roommate and I--usually during the summer--have issues with the circuit that supplies the two bedrooms and one side of the living room/kitchen tripping. We run a couple of fans, a couple of computers, a couple of routers, and a TV set, so probably not all that surprising, though it only happens usually like once every couple of weeks or so. I don't think putting any of this stuff on a different circuit is an option (though it is something I will investigate). It's annoying losing a bunch of progress in a game, though; is there a good UPS we could get for home use? How much would you expect a small UPS to increase the power bill? Would a UPS substantially increase the likelihood of us tripping the breaker?

Is that indicative of a bad circuit, rather than a load issue? Ham Equity fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Sep 7, 2019 |

Listen for anything snap crackle or popping, or a distinct acrid smell. If you get any of those discontinue use of that outlet and call your landlord saying "One of my outlets is sparking and has a smoke smell I'm worried about a fire." They should have someone out by Monday at the latest if they're worth the rent you're paying. Are any of your plugs loose in their outlets? Are they snug in other outlets? The outlet could also be worn out but that shouldn't cause the breaker to go unless it's AFCI. The wiring and all the plates are fairly new (I want to say in the last ten years or so, but maybe before that); I haven't noticed any issues with them at all, but I'll check; some of them aren't in easy visual range.

I'm moving in a few weeks, and I have a door in my apartment that everything is going to need to go through that is in a really lovely position. It has some weird hinges on it that I don't want to break in an attempt to remove, and I'm not sure what to call them in order to Google them:  Is there an easy way to pull these? And/or what are they called? I think I may need something that fits the below hole:

HycoCam posted:Pull the metal pin out of the spring hinge to unload the spring before you take off the hinge. Not a huge spring inside, but will make it easier. There should also be a spot for an allen wrench on the top of the hinge to adjust the tension. (Crank it down and slide the pin into the hinge.)

I'm a loving dumbass, and broke the front glass on my oven in my apartment while I was moving out. Is my best bet to buy a new door for it and replace it, or is there a better way to get new glass in there? EDIT: And what's the best place to order parts for it? Amazon? Second Edit: And I can't even find a manual for the goddamn thing, may just have to suck it up and pay the rear end in a top hat maintenance guy to repair it. Kenmore 790.90102206, if anyone can find it? Ham Equity fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Oct 17, 2020 |

H110Hawk posted:Ask your landlord assuming they aren't some monster corporate apartment complex, but otherwise Google make model part and go from there. You probably want to pay for expedited shipping. It might be cheaper to replace the whole thing sadly. They're a corporate apartment complex, but I wouldn't describe them as "monster." Found the glass at AppliancePartPros.com, but it's $247 loving dollars. Replacing the whole oven probably isn't an option given that it's from 2013.
