Anyone can start here · the Gratiot Avenue & 7 Mile Road corridor, Osborn, Detroit, MI 48205
Clear a snow-packed storm inlet on Gratiot Ave before the winter thaw, Osborn.
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.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
What the work involvesA curb inlet on the Osborn stretch of Gratiot Avenue is packed solid with plowed snow and refrozen slush; when the thaw comes it will pond a full lane of runoff with nowhere to drain.
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 the snow/ice-packed inlet
- After photo of the cleared grate
- Water-test pour photo/video showing the inlet draining
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_1788263453308_snwrwjj","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.
