All of it: the words, the place, the proof
List the high-VOC and vinyl finishes at the ground-floor unit on S Alvarado St in Los Angeles and rank the swaps. The original flooring and paint have off-gassed for years, and the inventory turns that into a fundable renovation sequence. No record shows which flooring, paint and other finishes in the home contain Red List materials. Confirm with the site's host before you claim: this listing names a block, not a building, and does not mean any owner asked for the work.
Offer to pay $560. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Observation/planning only, never removes or disturbs finishes. Any material predating 1990 that could be resilient flooring or textured ceiling routes to a licensed professional assessment before this plan calls it safe to swap.
The full safety list for this job:
- Hazards here: dust and chips from old finishes, trip hazards and strong odors in closed rooms. Wear closed-toe shoes and a dust mask, and open nothing and scrape nothing. Stop and leave the room if a finish is crumbling or the odor makes you dizzy, and do not disturb it. Needs a worker who has done this kind of work before; this job asks for no license or certificate. The owner or escort briefs you on the building's rules before you start.
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
- tablet/clipboard with the LBC Red List reference + Declare label lookup
- flashlight (cabinet interiors, closets, undersides)
- tape measure (surface-area estimation for exposure ranking)
- PPE: N95 mask + nitrile gloves (do not disturb, but prudent near suspect finishes)
Steps
- 1. Sit with the household first: what bothers them (odors, symptoms, a child or pregnancy motivating the swap)? What surfaces do they spend the most time on or in contact with? Record their concerns in their own words. The swap plan is ranked against THEIR exposure pattern, not a generic checklist.
- 2. Walk every room; photograph each finish category (flooring, wall covering/paint, ceiling, casework/cabinetry, sealants/caulk, window treatments, carpet/pad). Record product names, manufacturers, and material composition where labels or spec sheets are legible; mark 'unknown: request product data' where not.
- 3. Flag each item against the LBC Red List: PVC / vinyl (flooring, blinds, shower curtain, wire insulation), formaldehyde binders (particleboard, MDF, plywood, laminate), phthalate plasticizers (flexible vinyl, some paints), halogenated flame retardants (foam furniture, carpet pad, electronics housings), added antimicrobials (countertops, textiles marketed as 'antimicrobial'), alkylphenol surfactants (some paints, adhesives). Cross-check against the Declare label database for any recognized products.
- 4. Rank flagged items by exposure: (a) hours per day the household is in direct contact (sleeping on, sitting on, walking on, breathing over), (b) surface area, (c) ventilation of the room, (d) occupant vulnerability (child, infant, pregnant person, person with respiratory condition). Highest-exposure items rank first: a formaldehyde-binder cabinet in a sealed bedroom outranks vinyl baseboard in a ventilated hallway.
- 5. For each flagged item, name a specific compliant alternative: material class (e.g., solid wood, natural linoleum, wool carpet, zero-VOC paint, GOTS-certified textile), and where possible a product category or Declare-labelled example. Note whether the swap is DIY-safe (paint, blinds, shower curtain), handy-level (floating floor, cabinet hardware), or contractor-required (glued flooring, built-in cabinetry).
- 6. Assemble the prioritized swap plan: sequence by exposure rank, group into budget phases (zero-cost/low-cost swaps the household can do this weekend → mid-range swaps worth saving for → contractor-scale replacements), and note items that can safely be left alone (intact, encapsulated, low-exposure, or already compliant).
- 7. Review the plan WITH the household so they own the priorities and the reasoning. Enter photos, GPS/address, the Red List inventory, exposure ranking, named alternatives, and the swap plan; sign. The family's claim of a healthier home = this plan + this evidence, Real (walked and inventoried), Proven (photo + GPS + signature), One-of-one (this home, this family's exposure pattern).
What counts as done
- Room-by-room finish-material inventory with photos
- Exposure-ranked swap priority list
- Named compliant replacement products per item
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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, 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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
