Seal the window-unit gaps.

East Bakersfield's older homes cool room by room with window units ringed in daylight gaps that leak the cooling straight outside. Foam panels and weatherstrip around each unit claw that loss back in an hour per home.

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 surround

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. Inspect each unit's surround with the resident; mark gaps.
2. Cut and fit insulating side panels into open sash sections.
3. Weatherstrip meeting rails; foam-seal fixed gaps.
4. Confirm the unit drains and runs correctly.
5. Photograph each surround before/after, 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.
