In what order should I complete these projects?

We would like to complete the following projects on our home. Assume we cannot afford more than one at a time, so they must be completed sequentially.

  • Add electrical outlets outside ( we have some currently )
  • Add faucets outside ( we have some currently )
  • Replace windows and doors
  • New roof
  • New siding
  • Replace gutters
  • Convert an existing deck to 3 season ( deck currently attached to house )
  • Create new deck attached to the house

We are likely to go with vinyl siding. From what I've observed locally, it is typical to also add a 1" thick foam board before adding the new siding. Given that, I suspect there will be "issues" due to the increased thickness of the siding.

So, should the siding happen BEFORE the outlets, faucets, windows, doors, and deck work, so the thickness can be accounted for properly?

What order makes the most sense and why?
