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).

Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

Tool me!
As a first-time home owner, I am just now jumping on the DIY bandwagon, so I need all kinds of tools for all my future projects. I’d like to start with a sander to help me paint my oak cabinets white (sound familiar?) and I’d also love me a nailgun to help put up some crown moulding, and generally beef up the lack of woodwork in my house. I can’t wait to get to my next project! Thanks for the inspiration!
