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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

permission record + before/after photos per location + continuous-bead confirm + hatch-latch confirm + GPS

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. 1. Confirm with the resident which areas are in scope, then act.
2. 2. Identify accessible envelope bypass points reachable from inside on a stepladder (attic hatch/scuttle-hole perimeter, top-plate penetrations, plumbing/electrical chases visible from a hallway or closet ceiling), never entering the attic crawlspace itself.
3. 3. Photograph each bypass point before sealing, then apply caulk or foam sealant to close each accessible gap, never disturbing insulation or entering the attic.
4. 4. Photograph the finished seal at each location from the matching before vantage and confirm the hatch/scuttle-hole still closes and latches.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before and after photos of each sealed bypass point
• Continuous caulk or foam bead confirmed at each accessible gap
• Attic hatch or scuttle-hole confirmed still closes and latches after sealing

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

DIY Weatherization and Air Sealing. Air sealing is the cheapest energy work there is, and the Department of Energy has spent decades proving it: a tube of caulk and a roll of weatherstrip, placed where the cold actually comes in, beat almost any gadget you can buy. This standard keeps the work occupant-safe: no wiring, no combustion equipment, no disturbing old paint. Mastery looks like hands that can find a draft with a bare palm and close it for good. This packet is one home's worth of that: find the gaps, seal them, photograph the proof.
