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).

Hm. I guess for the immediate future, I need one of those paintbrushes that Sherry uses instead of using painter’s tape… but somewhere down the line I think I’ll be needing a miter box and hand saw to tackle a trim redo in the middle bath.

The wood to DIY a large 10 seater dining room/homeschooling table. Would love to be able to still have books out on one end while eating lunch/dinner on the other end. And to be able to seat guests at the dinner table rather than always serving buffet style dinners.

As an apartment dweller, I’m not in need of any major power tools, but I would give my left arm for one of those levels that has the little laser beam that shoots out along the entire wall. I dream about those puppies–imagine a home with perfectly level pictures all over the walls… *sigh*

TOOL ME! A garden rototiller to make planting easier. Last year I dug my 15×30 foot plot by hand. It was hard work and took awhile but I was blessed with a wonderful harvest. There’s nothing like a home grown tomato and tasty salad fixin’s. Thank you.
Karen says
TOOL ME!! Definitely a table saw, that’ll help us build out a closet in our master bedroom!
Jason says
TOOL ME!
I’ve really been eyeing a nail gun/air compressor to do a few things. First and foremost is the crown moulding that is definitely needed around our main floor (and possibly doing the crown on our cabinets as you guys did wonderfully. Additionally, I’ve been wanting to redo the boring trim around all of our doors.
Besides there are hundreds more uses of an air compressor that I would be excited to explore!
