Kitchen Is Done! (almost)

Just a few things left for the contractor to finish up.  One cabinet door above the stove makes a funny noise when opened. One drawer was too short so they reordered the drawer but now the handle has to be drilled in. The lazy Susan doesn't turn because the shelf is sitting on the water and electric line. There is a big gap from the uneven wall to the backsplash that needs to caulked. I could fix all of these things but I will let them do it since I paid to have everything done.


Here are the before and after pictures.


This is when you first walk in the front door.



 Good thing Maggie is here so we could reenact this picture!




The living room (above) is still a mess and I am not sure how to set that up yet. Those before and afters will have to be later.




The following are pictures of just the after.


The next project is to reupholster the kitchen chairs.

I wanted to mention we spent a day in LeClair, Iowa. Guess where we are in this picture.


If you guessed the American Pickers, you are right. If you didn't know, they are from LeClaire. I didn't know this until my Dad told me a few years ago. He went with a friend and met Mike. Dad didn't know who Mike was. Now it seems to be more of a tourist place.


We then went here.


We went on the tour to learn all about alcohol and met these people on the tour.


Turns out they are from Lisbon and are good friends of Mike's parents. We sat down afterwards and did shots of bourbon with them.
We ended up purchasing a few items.



Say Iowish cream out loud and it will make you laugh.
We then went to the brewery and tasted all 15 beers. This filled us up and we sat there burping the whole time.


LeClaire has a winery too but after a distillery and a brewery, we decided we had better not go there. Plus, I was the designated driver and my favorite is wine.
