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! Oh mercy. Where to start? Our custom-built fixer-upper is now 20 years old, and since it wasn’t put together right in the first place, there is so much to do. High school grad party for our youngest is looming. Nail gun? Sliding miter saw for installing retro stair treads? Case o’ beer for the friends I hope will help with it all?

Rachael G says
TOOL ME!
I desperately want a new sewing machine! I have been using my grandmother’s… made in the 1950s since last year! I love the machine and wish I could continue to use it, but the belt is breaking and I haven’t a clue where to go to get it fixed. So I think I need to move on and get with 2013! I want the machine so I can make some throw pillows for the sofa and some curtains for my art studio.
