Seal the door and window drafts.

Much of south Vallejo was built before 1960, and winter wind off the Mare Island Strait finds every gap. Drafty doors and windows push up heating bills for households that can least afford them. Weatherstripping is a same-day fix an ordinary person can do.

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 of sealed openings

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 occupant and mark every draft with painter's tape, using a lit incense stick to find air movement.
2. Cut and press adhesive weatherstrip to door jambs and operable window sashes.
3. Install door sweeps on exterior doors with gaps at the threshold.
4. Re-test each opening for drafts and note the difference for the occupant.
5. Photograph each sealed opening and the completed room list.

What counts as done

• Before and after photo of at least three sealed openings
• Photo of the completed opening checklist with date
• GPS-tagged photo at the home with occupant consent noted

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.
