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

homeowner/resident-permission record + before/after photos + material-volume record + 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.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the driveway or path section with the resident and photograph the rutting or gullying in the decomposed-granite surface before starting.
2. 2. Hand-build a small water bar or check structure across the low point using hand tools only.
3. 3. Top-dress the eroded section with fresh, compacted decomposed-granite fines to restore a stable surface.
4. 4. Photograph the repaired surface from the matching before vantage and record the material volume used.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before photo of the rutted, gullied surface
• Water bar or check structure photo confirming placement
• Decomposed-granite material volume used recorded
• After photo of the repaired, top-dressed surface from the matching vantage

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Soil Health. Soil health is the discovery, now written into USDA standards, that soil is not dirt but a living body: it breathes, digests, holds water, and can sicken or recover. The tests are wonderfully physical. Time how fast water soaks in. See whether a clod holds together in water or falls apart. Smell for the sweetness of organic matter. Mastery looks like a farmer who can read a handful of ground like a page. This packet is one plot examined by those methods and recorded, one honest page in the story of a piece of land.
