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!
ALL THE TOOLS. No, seriously, I need so many tools. I’m single and own my home, and the worst part about any DIY is having to find/borrow/buy tools I need to complete it. It makes almost any project a lot more expensive and time consuming. I’d love to be able to buy a simple saw as well as the crown molding tools and a nail gun.

Tool me! I want a nail gun to add some beadboard in my kitchen!
