Well the lucky April fool, er, person who’s getting the $500 gift card to the home improvement store of their choosing – all thanks to Hometalk! – is… Rebecca (who says she and her husband really need a router table to change out some non-functional kitchen cabinets). Congrats!
Nope, this isn’t a joke. Someone somewhere in the world is gonna win $500 this week, and it’s all thanks to Hometalk. It’s a free community where DIYers and pros can exchange projects and advice, which makes it a great spot to discover new ideas (everything from major remodels to easy cleaning tips pop up).

And since Hometalk is all about helping you tackle our next project, they want to give you the right tools – which is why they’re serving up a $500 gift card to your favorite home improvement store (be it Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears or something else). Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

I have been wanting to nab some power tools that actually fit into my girly hands! Most power tools are made for man hands and just don’t fit my tiny girl hands at all. Plus they are bulky and heavy!

Britt says
Tool me!
I just had to fire our drunken contractor mid-basement reno and the husband and I are looking at finishing it up ourselves. We’re borrowing my grandda’s compound miter saw but we desperately want one of our own. And a Kreg Jig, because J-Boom and Ana White make it look so rad.
