Seal the drafts the weatherization survey finds: family home, Arleta, Los Angeles CA.

Seal the drafts around trim, doors, and penetrations with caulk and weatherstripping at family home, Arleta, Los Angeles CA. This is occupant-safe work: no combustion and no lead-paint work, and the weatherization-readiness check is what found them. Gaps around the window trim, doors and wall penetrations let air leak through. For the payer: - Price: $105 per job, counted in penetrations sealed. - Likely payer: LADWP rebate programs, paid to the account holder after the program's pre-approval. - No license is needed while the whole job, labor and materials together, stays under $1,000 (Business and Professions Code section 7048); at $1,000 or more, a CSLB C-2 Insulation and Acoustical license.

Fund it for $105. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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 per location + continuous-caulk-bead confirm + weatherstrip compression check + door/window function check

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

Start after the crew's safety orientation. STOP on any building built before 1978, schools and public buildings included: do not scrape, sand or cut out old caulk or paint, send it to an EPA RRP firm, and assume lead until a lead inspector says otherwise. Also STOP at old caulk, putty or texture in a pre-1981 building until asbestos is ruled out, and never seal a gas appliance vent or make-up air, a fire-rated wall, or any wiring that looks like knob and tube; wear boots and nitrile gloves.

The full safety list for this job:

• Tightening a combustion-air or venting path near a gas appliance, water heater, or fireplace is a backdraft and carbon-monoxide risk.
• Fix active moisture, mold, or rot at an opening before sealing it in.
• STOP on a pre-1978 home with peeling or chipping paint at the work surface, route to an EPA RRP lead-safe certified pro, and never scrape it yourself.
• Never tighten a combustion-air or venting path near a gas appliance, water heater, or fireplace.
• Look up the year built (county assessor) before the visit and photograph the record. Caulk laid over sound paint with no scraping is allowed work on a pre-1978 building; removing old caulk, planing a sticking door or touching window sash friction surfaces is a lead job. Gas wall furnaces, floor furnaces and atmospheric water heaters are common in LA bungalows: where one is present, keep to exterior doors, test the CO alarm, and have a combustion safety test done by a BPI analyst before sealing walls or the attic floor. Fire-rated walls and ceilings (party walls in duplexes and fourplexes, rated corridors, shaft walls at schools and annexes) take a listed firestop system, never plain caulk: photograph and report them instead. Never foam or caulk over knob and tube conductors, and never seal a dryer or bath fan duct, crawlspace foundation vents or attic vents. Use paintable acrylic latex or acrylic silicone on trim that will be painted and 100 percent silicone only where it will not be painted; buy caulk labeled to meet SCAQMD Rule 1168. Gaps over a quarter inch get backer rod first, and weep holes in window frames stay open. Attics and closed rooms in summer follow the heat plan; run the same water, cool rest and buddy checks in an attic as outdoors.
• First-day orientation in plain words: this site's hazards, who to call, where first aid is, who can stop the job (Title 8 sections 3203 and 1509).
• No scraping, sanding, heat gun or dry cutting of paint; assume lead in any building built before 1978 until a certified test says otherwise; wet wipe and HEPA vacuum only (Title 8 section 1532.1).
• In buildings built before 1981 old caulk, glazing putty, texture, flooring and pipe wrap may hold asbestos; do not cut, scrape or sand them until a lab test or the owner's asbestos record says none; asbestos work of 100 square feet or more needs a Cal/OSHA registered contractor (section 341.6) (Title 8 section 1529).
• Training before use, three points of contact, ladder level and footed, never the top step or top cap (Title 8 sections 3276 and 1675).
• Outlet and switch gaskets: breaker off and tested dead with a non-contact tester before any plate comes off; skip any box with cracked, cloth-covered or aluminum wiring (Title 8 Electrical Safety Orders).
• Water, shade or a cool room, rest breaks, watch each other for heat signs; shade above 80 F and high-heat steps at 95 F outdoors (Title 8 section 3395 outdoors and section 3396 indoors).
• Exterior sealing when the air quality index is 151 or more: monitor, tell the crew, offer respirators (Title 8 section 5141.1).
• Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: slip-resistant closed-toe shoes for stepping up to reach and dropped tools; nitrile gloves for caulk, foam sealant and solvents.

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, plus one Vealth service fee of 10% shown apart; the worker is paid the whole 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_1784869195044_1x9z1b8","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.

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.
