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). The photo-centric boards make browsing for inspiration a breeze and connecting with the creator is just as easy. 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?

We’re going to buy a house this year, and given that the Denver market is now HOT HOT HOT, we may have to buy a bit of a fixer-upper. I imagine we’ll need LOTS of tools after two decades of apartment living.

Tool Me! I think I would really like an overlocker machine to go with my sewing machine. But if I won this giveaway I think I would let my husband choose. He’s a carpenter and loves to window shop all the tools, so if I could give him $500 i think that would be a pretty great surprise.

Lexie Norville says
TOOL ME!
My husband-to-be can’t even choose from all of the tools that he dreams about owning. #1 on his list is a miter saw so that he can tackle ‘everything’, as he puts it. We would love create a cohesive look throughout our house with matching baseboards—currently we have four different styles in our 1300 sq. ft house!
