Seal the drafts.

Many Bloomington homes were built decades before modern energy codes and leak conditioned air through door gaps and window edges. In a community facing both high summer cooling bills and constant road dust, sealing those gaps cuts the electric bill and keeps dust out of the house at the same time. This is basic, honest work an ordinary person can finish in an afternoon.

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-and-after photos of sealed doors and windows

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 drafty doors and windows with painter's tape.
2. Install adhesive weatherstrip on door jambs and window sashes at the marked spots.
3. Fit door sweeps on exterior doors with a gap at the threshold.
4. Caulk fixed gaps around window trim where the occupant approves.
5. Photograph each sealed door and window with GPS and date and list what was installed.

What counts as done

• Before photos of marked gaps
• After photos of installed weatherstrip and sweeps with GPS and date
• List of doors and windows sealed

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.
