$440 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: regulated — 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 involvesHairline cracks in the stucco/siding and foundation sill of this 1920s foursquare duplex are letting water and pests into the wall cavity, the kind of gap that turns a cleared gutter's win into next winter's stain if it's never patched.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- camera
- low-cost air monitor (CO, CO2, PM2.5), spot screening readings, not certification
- pin/pinless moisture meter
- tape measure + flashlight (attic/crawl/basement)
- tablet/clipboard with the LBC-petal healthy-home checklist
- thermal/IR camera (optional, envelope scope)
Steps
- 1. Sit with the household first: what do they want the home to BE (warmer, drier, easier to breathe in, cheaper to run, safe for a parent aging in place)? Record their top three outcomes in their own words, the plan is ranked against these, not against a generic checklist.
- 2. Walk every room plus attic/crawl/basement against the HUD/CDC healthy-home principles (dry, clean, ventilated, safe, contaminant-free, pest-free, warm/cool, maintained), photographing conditions: moisture/mold signs, visible insulation, window/door condition, combustion appliances, obvious electrical hazards, pre-1978 paint condition.
- 3. Take spot readings where equipment allows: CO near each combustion appliance, CO2/PM2.5 in the main living and sleeping areas, moisture-meter readings at any suspect wall/ceiling; record values, timestamps, and locations (screening data, not certification).
- 4. Map each finding to an LBC petal (Health & Happiness, air/light/comfort; Energy: envelope/heating; Materials: suspect lead/asbestos/red-list; Water: leaks/moisture/fixtures; Equity: accessibility) and tag whether addressing it is DIY-safe, handy-level, or licensed-pro-only.
- 5. Build the prioritized renovation plan: rank items by (a) the family's named outcomes, (b) health impact, (c) sequence dependencies (dry it before you insulate it; assess combustion before you air-seal); give each item a rough cost band and name the right licensed-pro category for regulated work.
- 6. Review the plan WITH the household so they own it; enter photos, GPS/address, spot readings, the petal-mapped findings, and the ranked plan; sign. The family's claim of a healthier home = this plan + this evidence, Real (walked and measured), Proven (photo+GPS+signature), One-of-one (this home, this family).
What counts as done
- Before photo of each crack/gap with a ruler or coin for scale
- After photo of the same spot fully filled and finished flush
- Materials note (masonry filler for stucco/foundation, elastomeric caulk for siding joints) and count of cracks patched
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_1788237801742_pu1wigo","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.
