Anyone can start here · a resident's own home near the town center, Bastrop, TX 78602 (Bastrop County); best-estimate location, exact address not confirmed; a home with an exterior hose-bib line on an accessible valve, not routed through a wall cavity
Shut off and drain a frozen exterior water line.
Fund it for $90. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
$90 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.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee.
What the work involvesA hard freeze has already dropped the hose bib and its feed line on the exterior wall of this home below freezing, and the line is frozen solid right now. Left alone, the ice inside will crack the pipe as it expands; shutting the line off at its own accessible valve and opening the bib to drain what water is left ahead of the thaw is what stops that crack from happening.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Confirm the exterior line is frozen (no flow at the bib) following the recent hard freeze, and locate its own accessible shutoff valve -- meter box key valve, crawlspace valve, or dedicated hose-bib valve.
- 2. Photograph the valve in its open, as-found position before touching it.
- 3. Close the accessible shutoff valve fully, then open the hose bib or drain cock past it to release the trapped water and relieve the pressure the expanding ice would otherwise build.
- 4. Leave the bib open and the valve closed until the line has fully thawed on its own.
- 5. Photograph the valve in its closed position and the open, draining bib as the after state.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the shutoff valve in its open, as-found position
- Confirmation the line was frozen (no flow) at the time of shutoff
- After photo of the valve closed and the bib open and draining
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not.
Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1787213504423_sqjpdr0","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
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.
