Clear and re-hang the sagging gutters on an invited Fortuna home before the rains.

Fortuna homes sit under big conifers that fill gutters with needles every fall, and the Eel River valley's winter storms then pour roof water down the walls of houses whose owners can no longer safely climb to clear them. One visit with a stepladder clears, flushes, and re-secures the runs an older homeowner can't reach.

Pay

$160 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 photos plus flow check

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 invitation and photograph clogged or sagging gutter runs.
2. From ground or a stepladder no higher than 6 feet, scoop needles and debris from reachable runs.
3. Re-seat loose hangers and re-secure sagging sections you can reach.
4. Flush each downspout until it runs clear and aim outlets away from the foundation.
5. Photograph cleared runs and flowing outlets with date.

What counts as done

• Before photos of clogged or sagging runs with GPS and date
• After photos of cleared, secured runs
• Photo of water flowing from each downspout

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.
