I've listed below the order I plan to attack things in, let me know if this sequence makes sense:Resolve excess moisture under house (minor grading issue, gutter required, possible plumbing leak)Repair minor roof leaks (repair flashing, seal leaks around chimney, replace tree-damaged shingles)Trim trees away from houseInstall 50 concrete piers and level foundation (foundation had work done previously but shifter due to excess moisture)Install vapor barrierAdd structural roof support beams in attic, add insulationRepair rotten siding/soffit/window frames (mostly upstairs)Repair porch (replace rotten boards, sand & paint)Paint exteriorInstall central AC/Mini-split system (any recommendations on this?)
