What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here
Charlesbourg's Trait-Carré is one of the few surviving 1670s French radial-village land-division plans in North America, with farmsteads laid out in a square pattern around the original parish church — the MCC declared it a Site patrimonial in 1965, triggering Loi sur le patrimoine culturel review on every exterior modification.
Several 1700s-1800s stone farmhouses inside the Trait-Carré are individually classified by the MCC, with full interior heritage protection — even kitchen renovations inside a classified building require a heritage architect and 60-90 day MCC authorization.
The PIIA Trait-Carré protects the original radial road pattern and forbids new lot subdivisions that would break the historic geometry — any property merger or subdivision needs a derogation mineure plus heritage architect sign-off.

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.
