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! I am dying to buy a nail gun. I am in the process of refinishing my upstairs (the wood floors are almost done!) but the next step is building out a closet to expand my 1950s storage and putting up crown molding. A nail gun would seriously help this project!
