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).

TOOL ME, TOOL ME!
So excited about this giveaway! Thanks for this and that ridiculously awesome music video that did, indeed, fool me! I was embarrassed for you and completely excited both at the same time! The hubs and I just purchased our first house two weeks ago! *1st HOUSE DANCE PARTY* So it would be so awesome to get a circular saw to start some of the project we’re dreaming up.
Friggin’ love.your.blog! Thanks for being awesome!

Jamie says
TOOL ME!
Been lusting after John & Sherry’s recently purchased nail gun. I want one baaaad!
Caroline says
TOOL ME!!!
With trim work in THREE rooms, that nail gun would be quite handy. I’d also take a few other tools if I had my choice, but this would help get the most work done the fastest :)
Chris says
Tool me! Reciprocating saw to start the basement bathroom project!
Brigitte says
TOOL ME! I’m not sure what I even need! I want a saw that I don’t have to hold the power tool itself, and cuts angles. The one you guys used on the trim. Miter saw? Anyway, I figure that can do 90-deg-angle cuts just as well as the rest, plus the other angles, and that $500 would go a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to making the counter-height raised veggies beds that we want. Actually I’m pretty sure it would do the whole project.

We really need a table saw ad a nail gun. A sewing machine wouldn’t be bad either. What I really need is a tool that magically cleans up toddler messes!!! :)
denise says
TOOL ME!
You’ve made the Kreg Jig so appealing that I lust for one although I have no upcoming projects for it. :) But since I’m about to retile our backsplash and fireplace surround, I’m guessing a wet saw and tools for that would be a better way to spend the money.
