leave them alone .they have nothing to do with your house temperatures .they are soffit vents .their purpose is to ventilate your loft space .to stop condensation .if your ceilings are insulated properly then the ventilation will play no part in the temperatures of your home .here in the uk the thickness of insulation is 200mm(8) to comply with building regs
They are called soffit vents and serve to keep the moister out of the atticMoister in your attic leads to your roofing degrading more quicklyAs to what type of roofing system you have will determine how drastically the life expectancy of your roof is affected if the vents are blocked off.
They are soffit vents to control heat and moistureDon't worry about them in the winter, without heat, the air does not draw through very muchIt works on the principle of hot air rising.
Replace the roof firstThis is the only item on your list that if let go could cause damageThen fumigate the houseThen add windowsInsulation can't be added unless you redo all sheetrock, so this is not a reasonable request unless you're just replacing attic insulationIf so, you can get an energy credit off your taxes for doing thisThen do the kitchen, then lastly the floors carpetsThey will otherwise get destroyed while the other, heavier construction is taking placeFinishing wood floors or adding carpet is always the very last thing done during construction.
