9. Floors last. For windows don't get the gas filled ones.

They will leak. No matter what they tell you, they will leak and then they will fog. Double hung, double pane work great. I lucked up on the best window guy in my area when I replaced all 18 windows when I bought my house. That was what he told me even though he would have made more money selling me more expensive windows. Personally, I’d order them ASAP as it may take some time to actually get them. Front doors can be expensive. If there’s a Habitat Restore in the area it’s definitely worth checking out. A friend did the poured epoxy on her counter tops and they are absolutely beautiful! She used several different colors and they look like works of art.
