Electrical--knob tube replacement,upgrade to box, increase # of outlets, etc etc...yes I am well aware of the cost.
Insulation---blow in exterior wall only.

We just finished a lot of work and I was going to post some kudos to some of the great people that helped us. There are some amazing contractors around. But I will list a few here on your list.
Stan Austin - I think painted every available surface of our home inside and out as well as some furniture (on purpose). He did a great job and a nicer guy you couldn't find. He also fixed broken windows, refinished woodwork (amazing job on the woodwork) and this week with the move - did an amazing job on carpet removal and even helped us move. I sure there are many other tasks he performed but in general he is a great guy and a Lakewood citizen.
Mann Concrete worked with us on the driveway. We did a mixture of ashpalt, concrete and stamped concrete. (His wife owns Brownstone Day Care and they are a great family.) He did a great job for us - just the design we wanted. I'll admit the two colors I picked originally off the chart I didn't like and he worked with me until we got the colors right. He also redid our front steps in a mix of concrete and stamped concrete.
Mike Farris my brother in law is an incredible carpenter. He also does an amazing job of drywall. He built an intricate fence for us, copied exactly the original trellis for the house. He put up some crown molding for us as well. He certainly could do the exterior woodwork, porch railings etc.. He does decks of all kinds (just did one for my in-laws with the recycled lumber) and all kind of cabinet installations etc. His number is: 216-661-5818.
Good luck and have fun.
