What the work involves

Small irrigation ditches feeding garden and orchard plots around Live Oak lose real water through worn wooden or metal headgates that no longer seat tight, wasting water that Sutter County's dry summers make precious. A hand repair reseats the gate and stops the daily leak.

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.

How this work is done

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

Steps

  1. Shut the upstream flow or wait for a low-flow window before starting.
  2. Clear sediment and debris from around the headgate frame.
  3. Inspect the gate seal and tighten or shim the frame so it seats flush.
  4. Replace any worn gasket material with new weatherproof seal strip.
  5. Reopen flow and check for remaining leakage at the seams.
  6. Photograph the repaired headgate with flow restored.

What counts as done

  • Before/after photo of headgate
  • Leak-free flow test photo
  • GPS pin of headgate

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1784516832171_hbttdpq","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
