Seal the drafts and dust paths.

National City's older bungalows leak at doors, sashes, and floor penetrations, pulling in freeway particles along with the drafts. Caulk, foam, and weatherstrip applied in one visit cuts bills and closes the dust paths at the same time.

Pay

$220 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 sealed location

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 the occupant's invitation and locate drafts with the back of the hand at doors, windows, and plumbing penetrations.
2. Weatherstrip doors and operable windows; foam or caulk fixed gaps and penetrations.
3. Check that combustion appliance rooms are never sealed airtight. Leave required vents open.
4. Photograph each sealed location before and after with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photo per location
• Materials list used
• GPS and date stamps

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.
