Rebuild the failing porch stairs.

The healthy-home walkthrough at a two-flat on the 1800 block of S Loomis St, Pilsen, Chicago, IL 60608 flagged rotted stringers and a loose rail on the back porch stairs -- the top healthy-home priority the plan named, now repaired to code.

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

permit + before/after photos + inspection pass + 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.

Bring

• camera
• low-cost air monitor (CO, CO2, PM2.5), spot screening readings, not certification
• pin/pinless moisture meter
• tape measure + flashlight (attic/crawl/basement)
• tablet/clipboard with the LBC-petal healthy-home checklist
• thermal/IR camera (optional, envelope scope)

Steps

1. 1. Sit with the household first: what do they want the home to BE (warmer, drier, easier to breathe in, cheaper to run, safe for a parent aging in place)? Record their top three outcomes in their own words, the plan is ranked against these, not against a generic checklist.
2. 2. Walk every room plus attic/crawl/basement against the HUD/CDC healthy-home principles (dry, clean, ventilated, safe, contaminant-free, pest-free, warm/cool, maintained), photographing conditions: moisture/mold signs, visible insulation, window/door condition, combustion appliances, obvious electrical hazards, pre-1978 paint condition.
3. 3. Take spot readings where equipment allows: CO near each combustion appliance, CO2/PM2.5 in the main living and sleeping areas, moisture-meter readings at any suspect wall/ceiling; record values, timestamps, and locations (screening data, not certification).
4. 4. Map each finding to an LBC petal (Health & Happiness, air/light/comfort; Energy: envelope/heating; Materials: suspect lead/asbestos/red-list; Water: leaks/moisture/fixtures; Equity: accessibility) and tag whether addressing it is DIY-safe, handy-level, or licensed-pro-only.
5. 5. Build the prioritized renovation plan: rank items by (a) the family's named outcomes, (b) health impact, (c) sequence dependencies (dry it before you insulate it; assess combustion before you air-seal); give each item a rough cost band and name the right licensed-pro category for regulated work.
6. 6. Review the plan WITH the household so they own it; enter photos, GPS/address, spot readings, the petal-mapped findings, and the ranked plan; sign. The family's claim of a healthier home = this plan + this evidence, Real (walked and measured), Proven (photo+GPS+signature), One-of-one (this home, this family).

What counts as done

• Before photos of the rotted/failing stringers, treads, and rail
• Permit reference where required by the local code
• After photos of the rebuilt stairs and rail meeting code rise/run/rail-height
• Load/wobble-test confirmation and inspection pass reference

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
