Seal around the window units of an invited Trona home to keep the playa dust out.

Trona's remaining occupied homes fight alkaline playa dust that works through every unsealed edge, and the gaps around window air conditioners are the biggest holes in the wall. Foam kits and rope caulk around each unit keep the dust film off the kitchen table and help tired units cool through 110-degree summers. Small work, felt daily.

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 each sealed window unit

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 window unit with the occupant and note gaps and missing panels.
2. Fit foam side-panel seals and top-sash foam on each unit.
3. Seal remaining edges with removable rope caulk.
4. Check drainage and outward tilt.
5. Photograph each sealed unit with GPS and date and list the units.

What counts as done

• Before photos showing gaps
• After photos of sealed units with GPS and date
• Count of units 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.
