Seal the gaps around the window air conditioners.

Window air conditioners keep south Redding alive in summer, but most sit in gaps stuffed with cardboard and towels that leak the cooled air straight outside and the 110°F air straight in. Proper side-panel seals and foam around each unit cut the waste and let the same unit actually cool the room.

Pay

$160 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 of each sealed 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 invitation and photograph each window unit and its gaps.
2. Check each unit sits secure and slightly tilted out for drainage before sealing.
3. Fit rigid side-panel inserts or cut foam board to close the accordion-panel gaps.
4. Seal the sash meeting gap with foam strip and the exterior perimeter with removable caulk.
5. Photograph each sealed unit inside and out and log the count.

What counts as done

• Before photos of gaps with GPS and date
• After photos sealed inside and out
• Unit count log

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.
