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?

Erin Ritola says

TOOL ME! I really would love my own sewing machine — I’ve been “borrowing” my mom’s for about five years now, and it was oh, 15-20 years old to begin with?!? I’d also like to build a new tv stand for my corner gas fireplace nook, love the convenience of those but without a custom built stand, there is no place for a dvd player/cable box/dvr, etc.!

Jenn C says
TOOL ME! I totally need an air nail gun!
Rachel says
Tool Me! Hmmmmm I think what we need most is some sort of organizational system. We only have ONE set of shelves for home/tool storage in our house which means it is way overpacked and everything in our basement is just laying on the ground. I would love to set up a full row of shelves in the basement and get some great organizing done.
