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?

TOOOOOOOOOL ME! (promise I’m not a tool!)
I really really really really reallllllllly want a wet saw. And a nail gun. A jig saw would be nice too. And an air compressor (one of the big ones!). But I can’t neglect a paint sprayer or power washer. Or one of those wooden-floor-nail-gun-doohickeys either.
I’ll just take one of everything please!
Erin {Home Everyday} says

Kerrie says
TOOL ME!!
I really don’t have a need for most tools as I can borrow pretty much anything my heart desires, but I would really love a nail gun of my very own, so when I have some built up tension, I can take my aggression out on some projects! :) I am currently planning my bath room remodel.. maybe one day, I can be on your blog as a reader redesign!! :)
