***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.

GOTTA GET A Tile Saw to cut tiles as I am putting down a new tile floor in the main level half bathroom. When we bought the house a whole ten days ago the toilet was leaking around the wax ring, and the whole room is small and dated. It’s going to stay small, but not quite as dated in the next couple of weeks. We’ve already torn up the linoleum sheet, a layer of sub-floor (that was made from a piece of paneling interestingly enough), laid down new cement board, and have a new toilet on standby. The vanity is getting a new faucet, hardware and a coat of paint, and the walls are also getting a coat of paint. Home Depot would be happy to hear that every single piece of material going into this project has been from their store – it’s only 1 mile from our house.

Gotta get the airless paint sprayer to finally start on the painting projects we have been putting off for months now.

Gotta get a mid tine tiller to do some gardening work. We built a house three years ago and had twins about the same time, so we haven’t done much outside yet!
bridget says
gotta get a pressure washer to clean the trim and bricks on our house…so says our HOA.
Stacy B. says
Gotta get a pressure washer! Our poor, poor deck needs some TLC and our garage floor is begging for a good cleaning. My husband would be “thrilled” to hear about my spring cleaning plans, I’m sure.
Tam says
Airless paint sprayer…that would be great. I would buy up about 10 chairs and just paint all weekend long!
Christina Couch says
Got 2 get a airless paint sprayer :] :]
Since we are buying on of the many bank-owned homes that have been stripped to concrete, I don’t want to spend the time I should in painting all my walls uniquely, so for now we are going to do all one color for the whole house. That way we can focus on the kitchen and flooring!!
Amanda says
GOTTA RENT a Tile Saw!! We’re to the point now where we’ll be tiling the backsplash in the kitchen renovation and more than likely that handy-dandy tool will come in extremely useful!
Erin says
I’ve gotta get an Electric Breaker or even a Panellift Drywall Lifter! I’m getting ready to buy a rowhouse in Baltimore that needs some work. I plan to break up the cement slabs in the back to create a grassy area for my pup and a garden area for me. I also plan to get rid of the drop ceiling and drywall it instead! Can’t wait to get started and will definitely be renting some tools to finish the job!
Marcie says
Gotta get a airless paint sprayer! The hardy board on our new house needs changing from a desert sand color to a pretty light pastel color! We also need the trim to be painted white! What a great giveaway!

GOTTA GET AN AERATOR!! I don’t have a front lawn. I have a weed/dirt pit. Aerating would help us get a jump start on either seeding the yard or laying sod.
Kristen says
Gotta get a…TILLER! After 11 years of the hubs attempting to weed, seed and grow a beautiful lawn, and 11 years of him ignoring my advice (I GOOGLED IT!) on what to do and what not to do…I told him I am TAKING OVER THE YARD this year. We have nothing but weeds everywhere so it is going to be a huge undertaking. I am determined not to be embarrassed by our lawn this year. Our yard is going to be the envy of the neighborhood….a girl can dream, right?! Home Depot HERE I COME!
Katie says
I gotta get a handheld hole digger so the hubs and I can build our puppies’ their fence (and they can quit driving our neighbors’ dogs CRAZY)!
R. Michelle says
gotta get a MITER SAW. I really want to rent one so I can prove to my husband (and my family) that I can install some built in bookshelves above the cabinets we already have. Then maybe we could buy some nice saws.
Lexie says
We’ve gotta get a tile saw to help us replace the ugly general issue/80’s style tile in our kitchen. and bathroom. and other bathroom. See what I mean? Power tools are a necessity.
(Thank you)

Pamela says
Gotta get a drywall lifter! (and a tile saw, and a hole digger, and a power washer)
I’ve got two bedrooms upstairs that just need a fresh start. The attic conversion was shady to start with and the job needs to be done the right way. Unfortunately neither of us is big enough to do it ourselves!
courtney says
Gotta Get a Pressure Washer…and a Tiller! Our house has brick around the bottom third of it. What character! It simply needs a deep cleansing so those original 50+ year old bricks can shine! The front yard is currently a work in progress. The lawn…er…bermuda grass is dying a Round Up induced death and will need to be tilled for the new landscaping!
Thanks Youngsters!

Kristen says
GOTTA GET A … POWER WASHER! After working on the inside of our new home all winter, my husband and I have plans to head outdoors and spruce up our curb appeal this spring. It’s time to show our home’s exterior some love and wash away the years of dirt and grime – it would make all the difference!
Jessica says
GOTTA GET AN ELECTRIC BREAKER…and save us from breaking the bank! Our front steps, made of concrete or truly crumbling under our feet and with each passing winter become more of a hazard. This summer looks to be the summer that we break apart the front steps and install completely new steps/entryway (man, I’m scared of the work now that I actually say, err, type, it out loud!)!
Artsy Fartsy says
Gotta get an airless paint sprayer. We are about to paint our brick, and just picked up the rental info from HD this weekend. Goodbye orange brick, hello lovely cream!

Suzanne says
Gotta Get A Carpet Cleaner/Airless Paint Sprayer!!!! Pretty please.
Since I was recently laid off, I’m looking to get several house projects done while between jobs, only problem is lack of cash flow. However with a busy household and 2 dogs running around, our carpets have seen better days and are in deseperate need of a good cleaning. We also want to paint, as EVERY room in our house is the SAME color! I’m tired of looking at beige walls, and an airless paint sprayer would make the job so much easier. Thanks for this fantastic opportunity.
Lauren says
Gotta Get a Pressure Washer for our front deck!
Laura says
Gotta get a Pressure Washer!
We need to refinish our deck and get all the mildew off our wood fence. Time for spring cleaning!
Thanks!
gina holmberg says
GOTTA GET A: Airless paint sprayer! Then I gotta get a baby sitter!! My husband and I decided that it would be a great idea to paint EVERY room in our house, along with the nasty 70s wood trim, every window frame, the fireplace, our kitchen cabinets, and re-hab some antique furniture 3 months after having a baby!! Oh, and have I mentioned that we would like this completed by the time he starts walking??? I promise some before and after photos!( I can bribe, can’t I??). That gift card would come in handy big time–and so would a glass of wine!!! Maybe I should’ve said GOTTA GET A demolition hammer!!
JM says
I’ve gotta get me a demolition hammer. We have a sad, sad walkway in front of our house that is just begging to be ripped up and replaced with something super cute and bursting with curb appeal.
Heather says
GOTTA GET A POWER TILLER! We work hard on our landscape…planting and replanting. A power tiller would save our backs!
