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).

TOOL ME! I’d really love to buy a table saw for my DIY’ing husband, who is tackling the kitchen now and looking forward to a fireplace and built-in desk/bookshelf pieces. He’s been using a hand-me-down, hold-your-breath, ANCIENT table saw that requires extra-vigilant precautions to keep him safe. I’d love for him to have a modern, functional tool that he’ll enjoy using as he adds loveliness to our home!
