This Old House: the updated list

The Gent and I recently updated our house to-do/wish list. The list is definitely a lot shorter now than it used to be! We (with the help of family, friends, and various paid professionals--some of whom were more professional than others) have been slowly but surely working some magic around this old house.

I'm currently getting quotes from a handyman to do these things:
Fix outside HVAC opening
Trim hedge
Rebuild basement stairs
Repair gate

And the plumber is coming by to look at installing a tankless water heater. That's the last thing in our basement. We'd like to move it so when the basement floods, it just floods, and we don't care anymore.

The current list:
Clean out basement
Organize garage and attic
Replace basement door, repaint garage door and window
Seal and paint window boards in basement
Continue work on landscaping
Modify outside playspace and add fence
Build vegetable garden
Scrape loose paint on trim work and repaint
Rewire outside electric
Rewire downstairs electric
Pull out old wiring and remove old breakers
Brace basement beam (when electric finished)
Install crown molding in master bedroom
Install crown molding in entry way
Install crown molding in office
Remove popcorn ceilings and install crown molding in upstairs bedrooms
Paint ceilings
Take down tree behind garage
Renovate kitchen and add upstairs bathroom
Install new windows
Install gas lamps
