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?

Barbara says
TOOL ME! We are in need of a new house……. only thing we can get in our target area is a ‘fixer’. We need everything!!
Katie C says
tool me!
I have too many projects in limbo and no time to work on them. In all honesty, what I could really use is a pair of size 10 circular knitting needles, that would help me get one of my projects done.
But on a more serious note, I need a better hammer than the novelty one with flowers my great-grandmother gave me for Christmas. Nothing says “not a real tool” like ceramic flowers chipping off when you put a nail in the wall.
Jennie says
TOOL ME! Id’ love a Kreg Jig!

My husband is starting his own specialty contractor business and there’s a number of hand tools we need to buy.
