Walk an invited North Rapid home and list its winter heat leaks.

North Rapid City carries some of South Dakota's highest household energy burdens, older homes, harsh Black Hills winters, and heating bills that eat whole paychecks. Most of the fixes are small and cheap, but nobody has ever listed them for these homes. A one-hour invited walk-through with photos is the first rung.

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. Confirm the host's invitation and walk the home inside and out with the checklist.
2. Check doors, windows, attic hatch, and visible penetrations for gaps, missing seal, and bare spots.
3. Feel for drafts at each suspect point and rank the worst first.
4. Leave the household the ranked list matched to the fix packets on this board.
5. Photograph each finding, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Photos of each draft or gap found
• Completed ranked checklist
• GPS coordinates and date

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.
