Fab Freebie: April Tools

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

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?

    I desperately want a finish nailer … after removing wall-to-wall carpet, every room in my house needs new quarter round on the baseboard (plus crown molding), and after doing one room the old fashioned way, I swore I would never, ever attempt trim work again without a nailer!

    TOOL ME! While I don’t know what tools are required, we have an interior wood door on an exterior garage door (compliments of the former owner). We have a new exterior door to hang waiting in the garage, but need to get a new jamb in place. So…whatever tools someone (ie: my husband) might need to get the new jamb up and ready for the door – that’s what we need.
