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?

My husband and I are about to close on our first home (!!) and we have a lot of projects ahead of us. But with spring upon us and summer coming fast we’d probably use a HD gift card for a lawnmower. As apartment dwellers we are severely lacking in the lawn care department!

TOOL ME!
We could really use a new chain saw. Ours is electric…not the best choice for sure. A gas one would let us go anywhere on our property to clean up fallen branches, etc.

TOOL ME!
There are a lot of tools that I want, but we recently rented a miter saw for a flooring project and I think that’s on the top of my wish list right now… But it could change anytime I see something new and shiny!

Susan Nelson says
Tool Me!
I’m a first time comment-er and also a real newbie as far as DIY is concerned! I own just one or two power tools, and since my house was built in 1974, and used as a rental property for 20 years prior to my owning it-it needs a lot of TLC. I have my eye on a table saw or a wet saw. I don’t currently own any kind of saw and am going to install some new base and shoe molding as well as try my hand at ceramic tiling my bathroom and kitchen floors-wish me luck-I’m nervous about getting started!
Amy says
TOOL ME…I would love a nail gun. We are building a new home and want to add our own molding and finishing touches! Love you guys!
Kristin Crankshaw says
Tool me! I’ve been so inspired by all of your DIY projects that I’m going to try painting our kitchen cabinets. They’re the typical builder-grade oaky finish. I would love to own a power sander to roughen up the finish before priming. I would also love to have a nail gun. Not only would I use it around our house, my group would use it in building dog houses for chained dogs without proper shelter. That would be a win-win!
