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?

Michele Jacobs says

Peggy says
TOOL ME!! I would love to purchase a battery-operated lawnmower. We have a small lot but using an electric lawn-mower is very tricky because we are in a townhouse complex and our house is the middle one. We have access via a right-of-way but it sure would be nice if I didn’t have to drag 50 feet of electrical cord behind me every time I want to switch from mowing the front to the backyard. And while I’m at it, a nice edger that uses the same battery pack would be great… I’ve never won anything, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this might be my lucky day : -) Happy Spring everyone.
