Patch the gaps.

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Seal the cracked caulk gaps where the AC line set, dryer vent, and hose bib punch through this home's wall. Where the AC line set, dryer vent, and hose bib punch through the wall on this block's older homes, the original caulk has shrunk and cracked, letting hot attic and crawlspace air leak straight into the living space.
Fund it for $240. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- camera
- caulk gun + paintable/silicone caulk
- weatherstripping + door sweeps
- foam outlet/switch gaskets
- utility knife + putty knife
- tape measure
- gloves + safety glasses
Steps
- 1. Photograph each draft location (window trim, door, outlet, penetration) before sealing.
- 2. Confirm the home is post-1978 or the surfaces are lead-safe; if pre-1978 with disturbed paint, STOP and flag for a lead-safe pro.
- 3. Clean and dry each gap; remove old failed caulk/weatherstrip with the putty knife.
- 4. Apply a continuous caulk bead to fixed gaps (window/door trim, penetrations) and tool it smooth.
- 5. Install weatherstripping on operable window/door edges so it compresses without binding the sash/door.
- 6. Fit door sweeps to exterior doors and foam gaskets behind outlet/switch plates on exterior walls.
- 7. Verify each treated opening closes/latches and the seal is continuous; photograph the finished work.
- 8. Enter locations sealed, materials used, before/after photos, and any flagged hazard into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Before photo of each unsealed penetration/gap
- After photo from matching vantage showing the sealed penetration
- Materials note (caulk/foam/backer rod type) + count of gaps closed
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.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1790770382743_mkmiuqt","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
