Seal the gaps around window air conditioners.

Thousands of Maryvale renters cool single rooms with window units set in gaps stuffed with cardboard and towels, leaking cooled air out and 110-degree air in. Proper foam side panels and seal kits around each unit cut the leak and the bill in under an hour per window.

Pay

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 unit + unit count

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. Confirm the invitation and inspect how each window unit sits in its frame.
2. Remove improvised stuffing and clean the frame surfaces.
3. Fit rigid foam side panels cut to size and seal the unit perimeter with weatherseal foam strips.
4. Seal the top sash gap with a window seal strip and confirm the unit drains tilted slightly out.
5. Photograph each sealed unit before and after with date and GPS.

What counts as done

• Before photo showing gaps per unit
• After photo of sealed perimeter per unit
• Count of units sealed with date and GPS

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.
