Install interpretive signage.
Fund it for $180. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
$180 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.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required — Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
What the work involvesThe historic park's three surviving 1936 buildings have no on-site signage telling visitors what they're looking at or why the site is on the National Register, and the Dust Bowl-era history this camp represents -- the model for Steinbeck's Weedpatch Camp in The Grapes of Wrath -- goes unexplained to anyone walking through.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- hydraulic floor jacks rated to the structural load
- laser level / string line + floor-elevation survey tape
- pressure-treated shims and/or new concrete/steel piers per engineer spec
- moisture meter (source-control check before closing the work)
- camera + tablet for the elevation survey and photo log
Steps
- 1. Verify the licensed foundation-repair contractor's structural plan and permit; photograph the crawlspace access, existing piers/beams, and any moisture source (standing water, plumbing leak, poor grading) before work.
- 2. Run a floor-elevation survey (laser level grid) and mark the low points against the structural plan; record every reading.
- 3. The licensed crew sets jacks, relevels beams to the plan's target elevation, and replaces or shims piers per the engineer's spec -- never load beyond the rated jack capacity.
- 4. Correct the moisture source found in step 1 (grading, downspout redirect, or vapor barrier per the crawlspace's condition) so the releveling isn't undone by the next wet season.
- 5. Re-survey the floor elevation to confirm it meets the plan's target, verify door/window operation upstairs, and photograph the finished piers/beams and crawlspace.
- 6. Pass the local building-permit inspection where required; enter the before/after elevation survey, permit reference, and photos into the proof record; sign it.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the site with no interpretive signage present at this location
- Panel content reviewed for historical accuracy against NRHP nomination/site-manager materials before install
- Anchor-point photo showing secure, non-invasive mounting on a freestanding post
- After photo of the installed, legible panel
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not.
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788196923530_qptd9ot","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.
