After going through them, I'm leaning toward not doing more than I have to. I don't think the weight of the roof has compressed the walls yet. So, I'm thinking of removing the doors and windows and jacking it level. The inside of the walls below the windows is wainscotting covered with paneling. I'd pull that off, plus the rotted sills, and see what I have. Then scab in new studs where needed and redo the framing for the way I want the doors and windows. Probably take out the middle door. It's very rarely used anyway, and then mainly to get appliances in and out because the door on the short wall is only a 30" door. I'll redo that wall to put in a 36" door. The door to the right has to stay for easier access to the basement when and if the furnace and water heater need to be replaced. (Both have been done within the last 3 years). There is inside access to the basement also.
My main objective is to get rid of the dryrotted window sills and have energy efficient walls.
The porch is carpeted, and I may or may not get by without replacing the carpet. Which is no big deal. I just put cheap commercial carpet down and replace it every five years or so. Then drywall the interior where needed.
I hate to see my current renter leave. He's been great. Divorced Marine Corps veteran, middle thirties, and probably keeps the place cleaner than I would if I was living there myself. Always on time with the rent. He had no intention of leaving, but--his company offered him a promotion to Vice President of a subsidiary in Colorado. Time marches on.
