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!!!
Can I buy someone’s time to paint for me? Because we need a lot of painting done and its daunting to begin thinking about painting our while house – inside and out!
Brenna says
TOOL ME!
There are so many! We just moved into a brand new house and we have so many little jobs to finish plus a whole lot of landscaping to do! And to make matters worse, we moved from a condo (and we were renting) so we have mostly been borrowing tools up to this point (we have some basics, but there are so many we need!) We’d probably pick up a mouse sander (we have a few furniture pieces we’re planning on refinishing), miter saw, lawn mower, and a whole whack of garden tools so we can put in a lawn and garden (currently our back yard is a pile of dirt).
