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).

Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

TOOL ME!
We’ve only been in our first house a couple years now, so I’m sure that are tons of tools we could use! Off the top of my head, a Shop-Vac would be nice.
Jonathan says
TOOL ME! Cus, I’m the best!
I would buy a really nice drill, there are many projects around my house that require a good drill.
Lianna says
TOOL ME!
I need a tile saw! And a nail gun!

Tool me! I would love to tackle painting our many, dingy kitchen cabinets. Would love some saw horses and one of those helpful guides to drill new cabinet hardware holes.
Lauren says
TOOL ME!!
My husband promised me last year he’d build a bed for us (I’m not in love with the one we bought off Craig’s List several years ago), and I’ve recently been informed that before he can proceed we need to buy a jointer…
Allison says
TOOL ME!
I’ve been thinking that if I could just get my hands on a Kreg jig (you can now get them at Lowes!), I’d suddenly become a master furniture builder…
Kelly says
Tool me! I would really love to do many things, but I would REALLY love to build a cool backyard play area for my two boys. Especially for the summer!
Katie says
TOOL ME!! I really want a router so I can make dado grooves without using the table saw. I’m thinking some nice built in shelving for my linen closet (that is about to become door-less).

TOOL ME!
We could definitely use a nail gun – we’ve had some trim that we’ve needed to work on for a while now. I’ve put a moratorium on buying saws – there was a time when every project we did ‘required’ buying a new saw.

TOOL ME!
A rototiller for the garden and some new raised beds would be all kinds of awesome!
