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 sash + EPA RRP lead-safe documentation + operability confirm + GPS

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.

Bring

• caulk gun + backer rod
• low-expansion spray-foam sealant (fire-rated where required)
• storm window/door kit or rigid-foam rim-joist batts
• heat-tape + pipe-insulation sleeves (freeze-protection runs)
• camera
• tape measure + utility knife

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the scope with the occupant/facility manager against the readiness survey's ranked target list (or a fresh walk if none exists); photograph the untreated bypass, window, rim-joist run or pipe run.
2. 2. Prep the surface: clean and dry the substrate, remove failed old caulk or weatherstripping, and clear any debris blocking the install.
3. 3. Install the sealing/insulation material to the target's spec -- storm window/door, spray-foam bypass seal, rim-joist rigid-foam batt, or heat-tape plus pipe-insulation sleeve -- per manufacturer instructions.
4. 4. Verify the result (smoke-pencil/hand check for bypass work, fit-and-lock check for storm windows/doors, continuous-coverage check for rim-joist or pipe insulation) and photograph the finished install from the same vantage.
5. 5. Note any combustion-safety or moisture flag surfaced during the install and route it to a BPI-qualified pro before continuing to the next target.

What counts as done

• Before photo of each treated sash showing the existing condition
• EPA RRP lead-safe work-practice documentation for any painted surface disturbed
• In-kind wood repair or matched sash-cord/hardware replacement record
• After photo of each repaired sash confirmed to open, close, and latch smoothly

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
