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.

TOOL ME!
I lucked into a husband with a pretty good selection of tools, but I think we could use a nail gun. We’ve had to borrow one a few times and I think that means it is time to step up and buy one of our own.

KaeleyAnne says
TOOL ME! A cordless drill. How sad is it that we don’t have one yet? We live in an apartment currently, so I don’t do nearly as much DIY projects as I would like. I’d use it to fix my husband’s desk.
Tim says
TOOL ME! I could use a good circular saw after finding out that my current one doesn’t cut perfectly vertical…The bench we were building looked like it was made in italics. Oops.

Aly says
TOOL ME A DISHWASHER
TJ says
TOOL ME!
I just got a new drill. But I have TERRIBLE drill bits. It’s clearly time to fix that issue, because then maybe I’d actually get around to the Honey-Do list. :-)

With spring and summer around the corner, we really need a power washer to clear the winter grime away!

Ashley House says
TOOL ME!!! We just moved into a brand new home so there aren’t any construction projects but there are plenty of DIY decor projects on my list. I’m sure we could spend the money with no problem! :-)

TOOL ME! I would love some new floors!
Kelly says
TOOL ME!
Aww … we actually just bought a bunch of stuff for projects (nail gun, miter saw, chainsaw, …) but now that we have all the equipment, we need the materials – maybe build some planter boxes and add a new light to spruce up the front of the house?
Betsy says
TOOL ME!
We are desperately in need of a rototiller. In the middle of removing sod and creating an urban farm. It would be an amazing gift.

TOOL ME! I second the person who says they’re in need of everything!
