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).

TOOL ME! I’d love an electric sander. I borrowed one from a friend to do a small project and now I need to have my own! Once the weather gets a little nicer I’d like to strip the paint off of the table I use for a nightstand and sand it down. My mom tells me its an old telephone table. It’s such a fun shape and I’ve had it since I was young but its seen better days.
