Thanks for your responses.
All right, now the panic is over.  I took a chill pill (note it wasn't a 
Margarita :) and looked things over again last night.  It's not as bad as it 
sounded last night when I was whining. The unit looks nice and is fun to be 
in.  I would say 85 percent of the floor is fine.  The main floor problem is 
accessible through the back panel.  One thing at a time.

Next question :  I tried to start the swamp cooler last night 'cuz it was 
nearly  100 degrees outside -- well, 90 + anyway, and it kept stopping.  The 
switch on it won't turn it on at all, unless you hit it to "high", and then 
sometimes you have to start it with your hand for just a sec (careful, 
careful) and the circuit breaker for this circuit appears to be wired 
backwards (off is on, etc).  It put out a little cool air but it was hard to 
tell since it was only on for a few minutes before shutting off.  When I 
flipped the circuit breaker again, I could turn it on again for only a few 
minutes again.  What are my options?
BTW, is there anything I'm supposed to do to this thing regular 
maintenance-wise, like put water somehwere if it's a swamp cooler?  My 
husband thought maybe?  But I read the manual I had for the a/s through and 
through and there was nothing in it at all about the swamp cooler.  I don't 
see anywhere to access anything on it if that is the case.  That thing is 
riveted into place on the ceiling in the bedroom area.
