Install cold-snap heat kits.

When polar air hits Buffalo, the difference between a cold house and a dangerous one is often a kit's worth of parts: window film, draft stoppers, outlet gaskets, and a checked door seal. Installing kits across a block before the first deep snap is cheap insurance against the next blizzard emergency.

Pay

$200 proposed

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

Photo per installed measure plus the flag list

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. Confirm the occupant invitation and walk the home's cold points with the occupant.
2. Install the kit: window film on the worst single-pane windows, draft stoppers at doors, foam gaskets behind exterior-wall outlet plates.
3. Check and note the furnace filter and carbon monoxide alarm, flagging faults to the host program.
4. Leave the remaining kit items labeled with the occupant.
5. Photograph each installed measure with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photos of installed film, stoppers, and gaskets with GPS and date
• Note of furnace filter and CO alarm condition
• Count of homes completed

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.
