So many things in your house that are probably pissing you off:
Ooof... Half that list is illegal to DIY in Australia. We have the dumbest laws for electrical and plumbing.
I mean, the electrical stuff makes some bit of sense; you can seriously cause damage if you don't at least know somewhat what you're doing. I don't get the plumbing thing, though.
You can also soak your faucet diffusers in citric acid to remove built-up limescale.
Pro-tip for the spray foam - if blocking air from the outside, spray a little bit of foam, add a "wall" of steel wool, then spray more foam on that. Stops the mice chewing through it
There's a 100% chance the mice will find your spray foam, so this is important (unless you like mouse shit inside your insulation).
