What a commercial fit-out project looks like here
The Beaches sits on Lake Ontario shoreline + Coatsworth Cut wetland — properties south of Queen Street East face Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) shoreline-permit requirements on any major reconstruction within the regulated area.
Most Beaches cottages were originally summer holiday properties (1900-1920) that have been winterised over time — many retain post-and-beam structures with shallow rubble-stone footings that don't satisfy current OBC frost-line requirements without underpinning.

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.
