Top up the attic insulation.

Once a Bayview home is air-sealed, the attic is where the remaining heat leaves, most of these pre-1960 attics hold a few inches of tired insulation or none. Bringing the layer to modern depth cuts the heating bill by the largest single margin in the retrofit ladder, and it is the natural third rung after survey and seal.

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

Depth-gauge photos across the finished attic

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. Confirm attic access, existing depth, and ventilation paths with the occupant; verify knob-and-tube wiring is absent or cleared by an electrician first.
2. Baffle the eave vents and dam around the hatch and any heat-producing fixtures.
3. Lay or blow insulation evenly to the target depth, keeping clearances at flues and fixtures.
4. Insulate and weatherstrip the attic hatch itself.
5. Photograph depth-gauge readings across the attic and the finished hatch.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos with a depth gauge
• Photo of baffled vents and fixture clearances
• GPS-tagged, dated photo with occupant consent noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.
