Seal the drafts found by the readiness check.

Once a Wasco home's leak list exists, an afternoon with caulk, foam rope, and weatherstrip closes most of it. Sealed gaps keep 105-degree air out in summer and heated air in on tule-fog winter nights, cutting bills both seasons. This is the doing rung after the readiness survey.

Pay

$272 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

Before/after photos per sealed fix plus completed-list photo with GPS/date

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. Work from the home's ranked fix list and confirm today's scope with the occupant.
2. Clean and caulk gaps at window trim, baseboards, and pipe penetrations on exterior walls.
3. Install weatherstrip and door sweeps on flagged exterior doors.
4. Fit foam gaskets behind outlet and switch plates on exterior walls.
5. Re-test each sealed opening for drafts and photograph before/after for each fix with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos of at least four sealed points
• Photo of the fix list with completed items checked off
• GPS-tagged completion photo with date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

DIY Weatherization and Air Sealing. Air sealing is the cheapest energy work there is, and the Department of Energy has spent decades proving it: a tube of caulk and a roll of weatherstrip, placed where the cold actually comes in, beat almost any gadget you can buy. This standard keeps the work occupant-safe: no wiring, no combustion equipment, no disturbing old paint. Mastery looks like hands that can find a draft with a bare palm and close it for good. This packet is one home's worth of that: find the gaps, seal them, photograph the proof.
