Add attic insulation to a 1930s-1980s Broderick-Bryte ranch home.

The Broderick-Bryte ranch homes built between 1930 and 1980 mostly still carry their original, thin attic insulation, if any, letting summer heat pour down into the living space and winter warmth escape straight up. A insulation top-up in an invited attic cuts both the summer AC bill and the winter heating bill.

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 photo of insulation depth with tape measure

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. Get the resident's invitation and confirm the attic access point.
2. Measure the existing insulation depth at several points across the attic.
3. Lay batts or blow loose-fill insulation to bring the attic to the recommended R-value.
4. Keep insulation clear of recessed light fixtures and vents per manufacturer spacing.
5. Photograph the insulation depth before and after with a tape measure visible.
6. Confirm attic access is left clear and safe on exit.

What counts as done

• Before depth photo
• After depth photo
• Resident acknowledgment

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.
