The housing in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is built on a hillside, and the heritage housing above the harbour comes with steep lots, small footprints, and additions made over many decades. Renovating here usually means working around what earlier owners changed: levelling floors, opening tight layouts where the structure allows it, and replacing finishes that were never suited to this climate.
On a hillside everything is an access question first. Material comes up or down a grade, the houses above the harbour sit on posts and cripple walls that have settled unevenly, and additions from the 1960s and 1970s often meet the original structure with very little between them. Levelling and squaring come before any of the work anyone will actually see.
