Build a raised garden bed behind the taqueria, a corner taqueria.

Set up a framed, filled raised garden bed at the taqueria at 620 W Manchester Ave in Los Angeles. The audit is expected to find no local sourcing lane for herbs and greens and nowhere to grow them, and out back is the ground-up first step. For the payer: - Price: $420 per job, counted in raised beds built. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host. - Public money rule: if a public agency pays for this job, California treats it as public works (Labor Code 1720). On public works over $1,000 every worker is paid at least the state prevailing wage for the craft (Labor Code 1771) and the contractor keeps certified payroll (Labor Code 1776); on a project over $25,000 the contractor must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code 1725.5). The crew works under the payer's contractor of record. - No license is needed while the whole job, labor and materials together, stays under $1,000 (Business and Professions Code section 7048); at $1,000 or more, a CSLB C-27 Landscaping license, with C-5 Framing and Rough Carpentry for a built bed frame.

Offer to pay $420. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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 + frame level check + soil-fill depth log + drainage confirm + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

Start after the crew's safety orientation. Get the owner's and manager's written consent first, never dig before an honored 811 locate, and use only untreated lumber and labeled fill soil, never site soil. Wear safety-toe boots, eye protection and leather gloves, team-lift soil and lumber, and keep water and shade close in the heat. Stop outdoor work when the AQI passes 150.

The full safety list for this job:

• Use only untreated, food-safe lumber, reject visibly contaminated fill soil, never dig post holes before calling 811, and get the owner or manager's consent first.
• Use no pallets, railroad ties or treated wood, and use fill soil that comes with a supplier's test or label; reject anything oily, smelly or full of trash. Wear closed-toe boots, cut lumber on a stable bench with the blade guard on, and team-lift the soil and lumber, because a 4 by 8 foot bed takes over a ton. Keep drinking water and shade within reach in the heat. Site the bed where it gets six hours of sun, keep a clear 36 inch path to it, and stay off septic lines, gas meters and the property line. Build 4 feet wide at most so a person can reach the middle, and 8 feet long at most. Use untreated redwood, cedar or Douglas fir 2 by 10 or 2 by 12 with exterior screws and a 4 by 4 post inside each corner. Staple 1/2 inch hardware cloth under the frame where gophers live. Ask the soil or compost supplier for a lab report or a testing seal and whether the compost was tested for persistent herbicide. Fill in lifts and settle with water; mix roughly one third finished compost to two thirds topsoil by volume, never straight compost. On asphalt or concrete the bed needs drainage holes and a barrier.
• Site briefing and who holds the 811 ticket (Title 8 section 3203).
• A quart of water an hour, shade at 80 degrees F and above, watch each other at 95 and above; hauling soil in July is hard work in heat (Title 8 section 3395).
• Check the air quality index (AQI) for wildfire smoke; at 151 or more the employer provides an N95 (Title 8 section 5141.1).
• Eye protection for every saw and drill job, guards on, GFCI or cordless on any outdoor circuit, and hearing protection for a circular saw (Title 8 section 3382).
• Use a wheelbarrow or cart, fill in lifts, and team-lift lumber; share the shoveling (Title 8 section 3203).
• Call 811 before a post hole, wait the two working days, and hand-dig within 24 inches of any mark (Title 8 section 1541).
• Wet the soil and compost before pouring, and use a fit-tested respirator under the employer's respiratory protection program, with a medical evaluation first, for cutting redwood or cedar and for pouring dry soil or compost; stop if dust still rises, because a dust mask is not protection (Title 8 section 5144).
• Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: safety-toe boots for falling lumber and nails underfoot; leather gloves for splinters and nails.

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

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.
