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?

Being 8 1/2 months pregnant, I need a tool or a robot who can do all the projects that I want to complete before the baby’s birth… baseboard priming, painting, and installation downstairs, finishing the nursery, demoing the box light downstairs and replacing it with recessed lighting, finishing up some electrical work, turning a bar into an island, and getting ready to put our house on the market.
