What a bathroom renovation project looks like here

The Johnston Estate sub-area covers the original 1880s subdivision around Johnston, Booth and Albion Streets — additional DCP controls require front-fence consistency, chimney retention, and slate-roof reinstatement on principal elevations.

Annandale's typical lot widths run 8-10m, which is unusually wide for inner west and allows side-passage extensions that wouldn't be possible in Newtown or Erskineville — most builders here use this for kitchen-extension scope without a full rear addition.

The Inner West Council Tree Register flags around 1,200 mature trees in Annandale, mostly Port Jackson figs and Norfolk Island pines — DA assessments routinely require an arborist report on any work within 4× the tree's trunk diameter.

Strata + heritage en-suites, full waterproofing certification — AS 3740 wet-area waterproofing mandatory, with NSW Fair Trading-licensed waterproofer required. In Annandale specifically, federation queen anne stock means bathroom renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

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.
