Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: The Closers

Fab Freebie: The Closers

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

We gave random.org the assignment again of helping us choose our winner and they chose… Sarah (who could think of 10 little projects that have added up that she could use this for). Congrats Sarah!

Since the early days of YHL, we’ve been buddies with the foursome over at One Project Closer. Ethan, Fred, and their wives Jocie and Kim dish up tutorials, tool reviews and decor posts to help us all get (say it with me) one project closer to our dream house. Recently they’ve launched a series of “Pro-Follows” where the boys tag along with professional contractors to document big projects like building a deck (which we may be referencing soon ourselves). But if that makes you break into a sweat, perhaps their new The Better Half section (where the ladies tackle design and craft projects) is more your speed. Whichever suits you, One Project Closer is helping someone get one hundred dollars closer this week with a $100 prize to the home improvement store of your choice. Now that should suit just about everyone, right?

One Project Closer Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $100 to the home improvement store of your choice courtesy of One Project Closer
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GET ME CLOSER” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what house project do you want to be closer to finishing? Are you ready for that kitchen remodel to end (or to get started)? Do you want to get all of your spring cleaning out of the way? Or are you really just ready to be done decorating your bedroom?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 25th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of One Project Closer.

    Get me closer to finishing the back porch. When I bought the house, the previous owners had DIY an enclosed porch that grew mold. I had to rip out all the walls and need to finish the job so it is relaxing to sit out there in the evening.

    GET ME CLOSER – I’m ready to wrap up my kitchen reno started 6 months ago. When I bought the house there was no kitchen, only a room that was bare down to the studs. I won an entire kitchen from our local home show, but this did not include ANY construction. So my hope for an “Extreme Makeover” team blowing into the house and renovating my kitchen was not goint to happen. Oh wait! I AM the “Extreme Makeover” TEAM!! ha ha! Here’s to gettin er’ done!

    I just found out that we will have to do a bathroom remodel NOW, instead of 4 years out after saving for it (and other projects in the mean time).
    The bathtub in the house I bought 4 MONTHS ago now has a nice big soft spot on the floor of it, and the floor around the bathroom is squeaking heavily, methinks due to water damage that I cannot see.

    I. Am. Freaking. Out.
