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! My wife has been bugging me to install crown molding while telling me, “Sherry & John did it–we can too!” It’d be great to have our own nail gun and miter saw to complete the project!

TOOL ME
My husband and I are big DIYers, so we always need tools. We are about to put stone on our foundation, so we could use some tools for that project. We have done some major work on our house since we got married five years ago. I will have to send some pics sometime :o)
Casey says
TOOL ME!
