All of it: the words, the place, the proof

This dryer's exterior vent hood, the flap mounted low on the outside wall, is jammed by a bent hinge and years of dirt and debris buildup on the hardware itself, not by lint inside the duct. It sits part-open all year, leaking conditioned air out of the building and letting outside air blow back in even when the dryer never runs.

Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like: A worker brushes dirt and debris off the dryer vent hood flap on the outside wall with a stiff brush at a resident's own home near the town center, freeing the flap to swing shut.

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.

Safety, read before you claim

This rung is separate from a dryer's interior lint-screen or vent-duct lint-clearing job: here the flap is stuck by hardware damage or exterior debris, never by an accumulated lint clog inside the duct itself, which routes to that separate maintenance visit instead. All work is done from ground level, outside the building, at the exterior wall only. This is brief outdoor ground-level work; in hot months, work in early morning or evening and carry water. No electrical work of any kind. Standard PPE only. Resident-invited work only, proceeding with the resident's own permission on their own private property.

How this work is done

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

Steps

Locate the dryer's exterior vent hood on the outside wall, usually low on the wall near the laundry area, and from ground level confirm by hand whether the flap opens and closes freely.
Clear any leaves, dirt, or debris blocking the flap's swing path by hand or with a stiff brush, working from outside only. If an active bird or insect nest is found blocking the flap, do not disturb it; leave the flap as found and note it for a later seasonal visit instead of removing occupied nest material.
Where the hinge or flap itself is bent, corroded, or the spring is broken, straighten or replace the hood's flap and hinge hardware with a same-size hardware-store replacement, keeping the same vent-pipe diameter.
Test the flap by hand several times to confirm it now swings fully open and returns fully closed on its own, then photograph it in both positions.

What counts as done

Before photo showing the flap stuck open or shut with the obstruction or damaged hardware visible
After photo of the flap swinging fully open under light hand pressure
After photo of the flap returning fully closed on its own
Confirmation that this rung addressed the hood hardware or an outside obstruction only, never lint inside the duct

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

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.

Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
