Paint some walls, new siding on garage, fix ceiling damaged from a small leak, fix a couple tile pieces in the bathroom, re-grout a bunch of tile in the bathroom, redo the basement ceiling, new garage door, new carpet or wood floors in dining room, new hot water valve in the shower, reroute the sump pump piping.
Bathroom and kitchen are above and beyond anything else that adds value, or at least will get you the biggest ROI. Granted if your foundation is caving in, perhaps that would be a bigger one. In my years of home ownership though, the biggest thing you should be paying attention to is water abatement...either water from above, below, or the sides. Proper grading along the sides, replacing aging roof vents/shingles, keeping gutters clean and draining to the proper spots, any other small piping leaks inside. These are my #1s always.
I have been wanting to build a pegboard/shelves storage area in the basement for a while. Also been planning the couch bed for years and I think I have a good framing blue print, just need to learn more about the fabric/padding.

Looks like you got your "Honeydo" list.

Hah! A little bit. Her list includes mostly aesthetic items, mine are mostly those related to function.
