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!! Sewing machine please. I ditched my ’70’s sewing machine that my mom found at a garage sale for $5 cause it had gotten seriously banged up and needed serious finessing to make it work. I sold it for $5 at our yard sale last fall. Now I need an upgrade :)

TOOL ME! We’re trying to build our own home using only cash, so the only project I’m worried about right now is finishing up the plywood so we can seal that house in! We’re stuck in the middle right now and are SO worried about some of it rotting before we can get it all sealed up!

Tool me! I would love a nail gun!!

TOOL ME!
I do need a nail gun; I am slowly fixing up our house, and putting up trim and paneling has been no fun with hammer and nails. Plus, the results are less than professional looking so far :/
With the right tools this would fly by. If I won this I could FINALLY redo the bathroom, as it needs new tile, cement board (leaky old grout + PNW = mold central), paint, plumbing fixtures, toilet, the works.
Jill in Colorado says
TOOL ME!
I need (want) a tile saw. Maybe a new lawn mower too!

Tool Me!
I need some lincoln welding supplies.

TOOL ME!
Ooh, I really want a Kreg Jig and the Kreg Crown Pro. I have mentally put up so much crown molding in my house, but in reality, nada. It looks quite beautiful in my head, though. ;)
I also have aspirations to frame out my builder-grade bathroom mirrors, build some shelves, and gussy up my kitchen island. Now I just need me some tools!

TOOL ME. New Kitchen
Danielle says
TOOL ME!! Any type of table saw would be great!

Jen says
TOOL Me!!
Closing on a new house for our family in 2 weeks…too many projects to mention!
