Service the swamp cooler before summer.

An Avenal summer without a working swamp cooler is a health emergency for an elder, and most cooler failures are cheap ones: crusted pads, a slipped belt, a stuck float. A pre-season service visit to ground-set and reachable window units catches those failures before July does. Parts cost a few dollars; the visit is the value.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Photos of replaced parts and running unit with GPS/date

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Unplug the unit and confirm safe ground-level access.
2. Open panels, replace spent pads, and scrub scale from basin and frames.
3. Check and adjust the float valve, belt tension, and pump screen.
4. Refill, restore power, and confirm even wetting and strong cool air.
5. Photograph the serviced running unit and replaced parts and record with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photo of spent pads and any replaced parts
• Photo of the cleaned basin
• Photo of the running unit with wet pads
• GPS-tagged photo with date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
