Clear and re-secure the gutters on a single-story West Side home before hurricane season.

Port Arthur has taken Harvey, Laura, and Delta inside five years, and many West Side homes are older single-story houses whose clogged or sagging gutters dump storm water straight at the foundation. Clearing the runs and re-securing loose brackets from the ground is cheap protection before the next named storm. No roof work: everything happens with ground-reach tools.

Pay

$180 proposed

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

Before/after gutter photos plus a flow test

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. Confirm the host's invitation and walk the house to map gutter runs and downspouts.
2. Clear leaves and grit with a ground-based gutter wand, single-story homes only, no ladders above 6 ft.
3. Re-secure loose downspout straps and brackets reachable from the ground, and re-seat splash blocks.
4. Flush downspouts with a hose until they run free.
5. Photograph cleared runs, secured straps, and flowing downspouts with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos of each run
• Photo or clip of each downspout flowing
• GPS-tagged, dated photo set

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.
