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”.

Liz C. says
TOOL ME! (now I have Tool Time theme in my head.)
We need a chainsaw. Our house backs to a County-owned “conservation area”, in which trees have been falling in droves. One of those trees fell into our yard and has been lying there, being sad and broken, awaiting our eventual chainsaw tree massacree.
Thanks, as always, for taking care of us just because we get the happiness of reading you guys. (and watching your fab music videos.)
