Seal the dust and drafts out of invited Baldwin Park homes near the pits.

On Baldwin Park's north blocks, worn door and window seals let in both the summer heat and the mineral dust that blows off the Irwindale pits. A weatherstrip visit closes those gaps in an afternoon: cooler rooms, cleaner sills, lower bills.

Pay

$180 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 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. Mark daylight gaps at doors and windows with the occupant, checking sills for dust lines that show entry points.
2. Install frame weatherstrip and door sweeps at leaking doors.
3. Apply removable sash weatherstrip to the dustiest windows.
4. Recheck closed openings for daylight.
5. Photograph each opening before and after with date and GPS.

What counts as done

• Before photos of gapped openings and dusty sills
• After photos sealed
• GPS-tagged entrance photo with occupant consent note and 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.
