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?

TOOL ME! We just bought a house last Friday and I’ll kill for a miter saw. (Or maybe a magical tool that would refinish all of my ceilings after scraping the 1980’s popcorn finish away).

Tamani says
Tool me! I’m not sure what tool my husband would like next (and he probably isn’t sure either, since our garage is a mess and it’s hard enough to find a screwdriver)…so I would use this gift card not to buy a specific tool, but to encourage my husband to organize the tools we already have (a work bench/shelves would be the perfect use for this gift card at our house).
