Seal the window air conditioners.

El Cajon's older apartment blocks cool through window units that leak hot valley air around every panel edge, driving bills that force families to choose between cooling and groceries. Foam seals per unit are an hour of work with an every-month payoff.

Pay

$200 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 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. Confirm the occupant's invitation and photograph each unit's gaps.
2. Install foam side seals and perimeter weatherstrip so no daylight shows.
3. Add removable exterior caulk rope where the occupant agrees.
4. Photograph each sealed unit inside and out with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of gaps per unit
• After photo of seals with GPS and date
• Unit count with occupant confirmation

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.
