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’re about to start work on our family room/office/tv room/ transition to the back yard room. Eeeek! Can you say multi-functional??
Currently its a… dumping zone, a bit like your playroom used to be. It’s about to be completely revamped, designed, renovated, and all that jazz. We’re excited to start but we’re gonna need a lot of different tools. We’ll be building some built-in furnishings so a router would be nice, a belt sander, a kreg jigg, a nail gun, and so on and so forth.
