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 boyfriend and I have our hearts set on a compound mitre saw. In the next year or so we are planning to do a completely DIY full-gut kitchen remodel. And yes, we are planning to build our own custom cabinets, which is where the compound mitre saw comes in to play. We’re just finishing up our full-gut DIY bathroom remodel now and we built the vanity with a simple and small table saw. Can’t wait to tackle the kitchen with a better tool!
