Wrap the exposed supply pipes for winter.

The post-2020 rebuilds mostly stand on post-and-pier with supply lines in the open air, and Feather Falls winters freeze hard at 3,000 feet. Foam-wrapping every exposed run before the first freeze is the standing pre-winter job that keeps a family in water through January.

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

before/after photos per run + GPS + materials note

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
• snow shovel or ice scraper
• pet-safe/chloride ice-melt (or sand for traction where melt is restricted)
• pipe insulation sleeves or heat tape + exterior-rated foam covers
• broom or stiff brush
• tape measure
• gloves + traction footwear

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the sidewalk/curb-ramp/inlet or exterior pipe/hose-bib run as found (snow/ice depth, ponded ice, bare pipe exposure) from the vantage points that will be used again after.
2. 2. Confirm scope with the occupant/owner or, for public right-of-way, confirm the segment is city/public frontage, not a driveway or private easement requiring separate authorization.
3. 3. Clear snow and chip/melt ice from the sidewalk panel, curb ramp landing and detectable-warning surface, or the storm-drain inlet grate and gutter approach, working from the surface only -- never enter, reach into, or open any drain or utility structure.
4. 4. For exterior pipes: wrap exposed supply lines, hose bibs and condensate lines with insulation sleeves or heat tape sized to the run; cap outdoor spigots with insulated covers.
5. 5. Verify the cleared path is walkable curb-to-curb-ramp with no residual ice sheet, the inlet accepts a test pour of water with no ponding, or the wrapped pipe run is fully covered with no exposed section; photograph the finished work from the same vantage as the before photos.
6. 6. Enter before/after photos, materials used (ice-melt volume, insulation footage), and any hazard flagged (structural ramp damage, cracked pipe, active leak) into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

• Before photo of each exposed pipe run as found
• After photo of each wrapped run from the matching vantage
• Materials note: sleeve sizes used and linear feet covered

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
