Seal the door and window drafts.

Del Rey's older rentals leak conditioned air through gapped doors and loose window frames, so swamp coolers and space heaters run harder than they should on tight budgets. An afternoon of weatherstrip and door sweeps cuts bills in both seasons.

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 every 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's doors and windows with the resident and mark every gap that shows daylight or moves air.
2. Clean the frames and apply self-stick foam or V-seal weatherstrip to each marked gap.
3. Add a door sweep to exterior doors gapped at the threshold.
4. Close each sealed door and window to confirm a snug fit without sticking.
5. Photograph each opening before and after, with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the site or opening with GPS and date stamp
• After photo of the finished work from the same angle
• Close-up photo of the key detail (seal, pad, cartridge, planting, or tag)

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.
