$130 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

homeowner or resident permission record plus before after photos plus first flush diverter plus mosquito screen photo plus fill test video plus 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 downspout's location with the resident and photograph the existing downspout draining to grade before starting.
2. 2. Cut and fit a first flush diverter into the downspout run, hand tools only.
3. 3. Set a screened rain barrel on a stable, level pad below the diverter and connect the overflow away from the foundation.
4. 4. Photograph the finished, strapped barrel from the matching before vantage and record capacity and overflow routing.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before photo of the downspout draining to grade
• After photo of the installed, strapped rain barrel, diverter, and overflow routed away from the foundation
• Mosquito screen photographed on every inlet or vent opening
• Fill test photo or video showing the barrel capturing flow from the downspout

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
