Dry pack in North Bay

North Bay grew as a railway town, and the streets around downtown and toward the waterfront on Lake Nipissing have houses from the early 1900s with wood floors that have settled. The post-war neighbourhoods around them, and the newer streets toward Trout Lake and the airport, are at their second or third bathroom renovation.

Nipissing University and Canadore College share a campus on the escarpment, and the city keeps a stock of rentals renovated between terms. On both lakes, cottages and year-round lake houses have bathrooms and terraces of their own, often reached by narrow roads, so the quote asks how close a truck can get.

North Bay winters are long, and an outdoor bed is sloped so meltwater runs off before it can freeze. North Bay is booked with other jobs in the north, so photos and the postal code come first.

The city climbs the escarpment north of downtown, and houses on the slope often have walk-out basements, where the finished floor runs straight out to a patio. The screed inside and the bed outside are set so the two meet without sending water back toward the door. Along the shore of Lake Nipissing, decks and terraces face the water, and the same rule applies: every bed falls away from the house.
