Condensation
That will happen with any and all iron sinks. When the temperature from ice cools the sink & the air in the house is hot then condensation will form quicker. To stop this I would suggest you melt the ice by spraying sink tap water on ice.

Toilet bowl will not refill
It is possible that the vent pipe behind the toilet is clogged (or was not installed properly). Some bathrooms are set up with one shared vent pipe, and a clog in one of the lines leading to it can cause similar problems.
The vent pipe in each bathroom does 2 things:
1: it lets the sewer gas go past the bathroom and up out the roof so you don't get sewer gas in the house.
2: It breaks the siphon as water goes from fixtures down to the big sewer pipes in the house. If it isn't working for a sink, it's not much of a problem because air gets mixed in with the water as it does down the sink, and this breaks the siphon. But in a toilet, it jsut keeps pulling water down the pipe until the water level in the toilet gets low enough to let air into the pipe, breaking the siphon.
It's not an easy problem to fix and often involves removing walls to get at pipes.
A plumber can bring a snake tool and try clearing the pipes from below or from the roof, and might even be able to bring a steerable snake that lets him control how it goes through the pipe.

How do i fix my leaky faucet?
You will need to shut-off the water valves underneath the sink and remove the faucet handle(s). Once you do this, you will see the rubber "seats" which need to be replaced. Just pop them out and replace them with new seats and replace the handle(s). Turn on the valves underneath the sink and your faucet should be all set!

Toilet not flushing completely
Prelude:
My toilet had the same problem a few times. I managed to clean it out because the pipe is somehow connected to the downstairs drainage pipe in my house. What fixed the toilet clog was going to the source of the problem and pouring extremely powerful hair clog remover chemicals in it (I did have to open all the windows and get the pets as far away as possible and wear a mask). After the specified amount of time waiting, I went to go flush and it worked.
**Answer**:
I would recommend doing the same thing but only if everyone in the house is gone for 1 hour. Also I would air it out by leaving windows open, not first floor doors or windows though. It can be deadly if inhaled for extended periods of time. The more powerful the cleaner, the better the results but the deadlier it can be if inhaled.
Try this.
My second guess is that it may be the plug inside the toilet's tank. You should check to see if it is working properly. Try flushing with the lid off and watch the plug to see if it is working properly.

Plastic fitting at main hose tie in leaks
Most hardware stores carry a good variety of fittings. (Plastic, Brass and iron). Just be sure the leak is the fitting and not just the hose connections. Don't forget to turn the water supply off before cutting the lines.

Leaking jacuzzi jet
The workings of a bath jet...From the inside of the Bath there is a wall fitting that threads from the inside of the tub into the jet body located on the outside wall of the tub.If the jet is leaking at this point behind the tub then you should take the wall fitting out of the tub and put a small bead of 100% RTV silicone around the flange of the wall fitting and reinstall it.If however, the leak is from the PVC piping going into the jet then you will need to replace the jet.Rod
