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?

TOOL ME! I’d love to have a sewing machine – I’ve always wanted to learn to sew, but can never justify buying something pricey that I don’t already know how to use. My husband would probably love something much more manly – like a nail gun – and since his birthday’s tomorrow, I’d probably let him pick something out :)

Air compressor and a nail gun. We have board and batten in our future.

We have a running list going for Ace Hardware. After living in an apartment for so long, we need (and want) all kinds of things. I have plans to start painting, starting with the closets. We need something other than Builder’s White, which is really yellowish and not my idea of what I want to live with.
