What a room additions project looks like here
Wrigleyville is governed by the Wrigley Field Neighborhood Overlay — an ordinance that restricts construction material deliveries and commercial dumpster use during Cubs home games (81+ regular-season days plus postseason), materially extending kitchen-gut timelines.
The neighborhood's three-flat buildings (1900-1925) typically have their original kitchen locations on the first-floor rear, with a shared light-and-air shaft at the center of the building — relocating a kitchen to the front of the three-flat triggers a CDOB air-and-light-shaft modification review.
Because most Wrigleyville bungalows and three-flats use pre-1940 cast-iron plumbing stacks that are at or past their service life, kitchen renovations routinely surface a stack-replacement cost ($8K-$25K) that doesn't appear in the initial scope.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
