Thank you guys very much.
The lamp is a simple torchiere with a regular bulb, not halogen.
I hate halogens because they give off so much heat.
I have to go buy pliers and that tape stuff so I can replace my crappy shower head with one that is made for super-low water pressure, so I'll check out Liquid Nails.
And beer. So I can be a real fix-it-chick. LOL.

A 50-year old water heater is already four lifetimes old. Replace it and be thankful for every year of life it gave you after its twelveth. As far as adjusting the temperature, they're pretty straightforward on all water heaters I've seen - there are arrows pointing one way saying, "hotter."
You can buy tubes of adhesive at Home Depot for the linoleum floor tiles.
As for the 220 (probably) plug - what room is it in? Sounds like it could be for a dryer; but perhaps an electric stove, too. They look very similar.

ack! this place is a rental and they were PROUD of the hot water heater. It's gas and there's no "hotter" thingie. I'll have the landlords take a look at it when they get back into town. It's an old home that was split into three apartments and a walkthrough efficiency.
I'm fairly sure it's the fan motor after being home the whole day today. So that's beyond what I can do, too.
Oh, and dlish... I also made a HUGE batch of Guinness-coffee-cocoa chili with hereford stew beef and 95% lean fround beef, a habanero, poblano, anaheim and a home-grown purple jalapeno after working on the house.
edit: Zillow says the place was built in 1909. Things are starting to make sense now.
