***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m not even going to dance around this one: we’ve got a $200 Home Depot gift card up for grabs.
This week’s stellar prize comes direct from Home Depot themselves as part of their “What’s Your Pro Project” contest. But the good ol’ HD isn’t just asking about your upcoming heavy duty projects, they’re looking to lend a hand too. Thanks to their 1,200 local Tool Rental Centers, you can borrow over 325 professional tools, from power and hand tools to yard, garden and electrical equipment. Sure beats buying that aerator you only use once a year.
So if you want a shot at the $200 gift card, first check out their selection of tool rentals and then comment on this post with the phrase “GOTTA GET A [insert name of tool you’d most like to rent].” That’s right, to be eligible for the prize you have to tell us what tool you’d consider renting AND what project you might tackle with it (sorry folks, we’ve gotta be sticklers on this one). For instance, I’ve already been daydreaming about renting a powerwasher to do some heavy duty clean-up on our front porch. Plus, who doesn’t like cleaning and looking like a badass at the same time? If only I could powerwash the dishes…
Alas, we’re not eligible for the prize (soooooo jealous of you guys), but at least we get to hear about all your power tool fantasies and the pro projects you might be tackling soon. Entries will be accepted until Wednesday, March 25th at 8pm EST and the prize is only available to United States residents. The one, randomly selected winner will be announced later in the week. Good luck…
Any other questions you may have are answered in our Giveaway FAQs. Screen grabs courtesy of Home Depot Tool Rental Centers.

Wow… Ok, where to start! I want/will rent the airless paint sprayer because I REALLY need to restain my fence and it would be SO MUCH quicker to use this. We have 2 ½ lots and the entire thing is fenced! 6 ft. high! …next I’m thinking the carpet cleaner because with 2 dogs, 2 teenage boys and a cat my carpet is probably much much nastier than I even know.. or want to know!!! Then I’m thinking pressure washer…house needs pressure washer, patio needs pressure washing and porch needs pressure washing! After all that I need the gift card to put towards a hammock to take a nap!!!

Gotta get an airless paint sprayer. Tomorrow, yes tomorrow, we are moving into a 1901 3-story historic home. All the rooms need to be painted. The blue sponge-painted kitchen has to go, the Raggedy Ann stencil has to go, the giant Peter Rabbit mural has to go, the bright orange third floor wall has to go. And the paint sprayer will save our family of five time, money and sanity. Please oh please pick me!

GOTTA GET A PLATE COMPACTOR!
we just finished a french drain to deal with the major drainage issues in our new backyard. Then in two weeks we are having a privacy fence put in. Once that is done, we are building our own patio! I had already looked at rental prices to see how much it would be and it would be so fabulous to get it from HD. We are using our tax refund money for this but i would love to pay off some more debt instead! and still get the patio! :)
Allyn says
Gotta get a TILE SAW!!! We are buying a house NOW (TODAY, NOW, THIS MOMENT!!) and because we are getting a fixer upper we NEED this tile saw to make all our tile dreams come true – particularly in designing, cutting and laying down tile in our kitchen, bathrooms, entryway and maybe the whole house!

GOTTA GET A AERATOR!
Last year I tried to fix my sparse backyard. I knew I needed an aerator but didn’t know where to get one or how to use it and so I hacked around with a shovel and a rake. After all of that backbreaking work… well, looking at my lack of a lawn – I know I should have gotten an aerator and done it right the first time. I would love to fix it this spring.

Definitely the hardwood flooring stapler! Our 1950s era highrise condo still rocks the original parquet floors– but they probably won’t last much longer. I’m dreaming about dark hardwoods gleaming throughout…
