Seal the drafts.

The Delta's shotgun houses and small frame homes are beautiful and brutally leaky, winter wind and summer heat both walk straight through unsealed doors and windows, and energy burdens here run among the highest in the nation. An afternoon of weatherstrip and door sweeps is the cheapest relief available. Elderly homeowners especially cannot do this reach-and-kneel work themselves.

Pay

$200 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 of each sealed opening

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. Walk the home with the host and find drafts by hand at every door and window.
2. Fit foam or V-seal weatherstrip to the leaky openings.
3. Install door sweeps where thresholds show daylight.
4. Re-test each sealed opening with the host.
5. Photograph each sealed opening with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before/after close-ups of sealed openings
• Door-sweep photos
• GPS-tagged, dated set

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.
