All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Check weatherization readiness at the community garden in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, CA. It has never been checked here before, so the people who use this place can see if it's improving. Name the exact site and confirm it with its host before you claim: this listing gives only the area.

Offer to pay $552. 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
photo assembly inventory + GPS + CO spot readings + draft-trace notes + ranked weatherization-readiness package

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

Safety, read before you claim

Observation/planning only: no installation, no blower-door or combustion testing. STOP/GATE: CO >9 ppm, orphaned/corroded flue, or suspected backdrafting → no tightening scoped until a BPI-qualified pro clears combustion safety.

The full safety list for this job:

  • Hazards here: trip hazards, dust and cold drafts in a lived-in home, and a lit smoke pencil or incense near curtains. Wear closed-toe shoes and a dust mask in dusty attics and crawlspaces, and keep any flame away from fabric and paper. Stop and leave the home if the tenant asks you to, or if you see exposed wiring, smell gas or smoke. Do not enter an attic or crawlspace the owner has not opened for you. Needs a worker who has done this kind of work before; this job asks for no license or certificate. The household tells you which rooms are open 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
  • tape measure + flashlight (attic/crawl/basement/rim joist)
  • low-cost CO monitor (spot screening at combustion appliances)
  • incense stick or smoke pencil (qualitative draft tracing, no blower door)
  • tablet/clipboard with the weatherization-readiness checklist
  • thermal/IR camera (optional, insulation-gap scope)

Steps

  1. 1. Confirm scope with the household and record what they actually feel: the cold rooms, the drafts, the winter bill they want lower. Their comfort targets frame the package: this is their claim of a warmer home, not a generic energy audit.
  2. 2. Inventory the envelope by assembly with photos: attic insulation presence + approximate depth/R-level, accessible wall/floor/rim-joist insulation, window/door condition and weatherstripping, and visible bypasses (top plates, chases, recessed lights, attic hatch).
  3. 3. Trace drafts qualitatively (smoke pencil/incense at suspect points on a breezy day or with exhaust fans running) and rank the air-sealing targets; note that quantitative blower-door verification belongs to the weatherization contractor.
  4. 4. Screen combustion safety BEFORE tightening is planned: photograph each combustion appliance + venting, take a CO spot reading, and flag anything (orphaned water heater, corroded flue, suspected backdrafting) that a BPI-qualified pro must clear before ANY air-sealing proceeds.
  5. 5. Check moisture prerequisites: any active leak, bulk-water entry, or damp assembly gets sequenced ahead of insulation (never insulate a wet assembly), and note ventilation needs after tightening (bath/kitchen exhaust, fresh-air strategy).
  6. 6. Assemble the weatherization-readiness package: ranked air-sealing targets, insulation gaps by assembly with rough quantities, combustion-safety flags that gate the work, moisture prerequisites, ventilation-after-tightening notes, and the utility/WAP program paths the household may qualify for.
  7. 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the assembly inventory, CO readings, and the readiness package; sign. Route combustion clearance to a BPI-qualified pro and installation to insured insulation contractors, the survey scopes, it never installs.

What counts as done

  • Photo inventory of every envelope assembly (attic/wall/floor/rim, windows/doors) with approximate insulation levels
  • CO spot readings at each combustion appliance with any tightening-gate flag named
  • GPS / address confirm
  • Weatherization-readiness package: ranked air-sealing targets, insulation gaps w/ rough quantities, moisture prerequisites, ventilation-after-tightening notes
  • 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.

The standard this serves

Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.

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
