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?

Jessica says
Tool me!I want the Electric Demolition Jackhammer Tool! My boyfriend and I recently took on the seemingly innocent task of rejuvenating our front planter. Once we pulled out the decades-old rhododendron shrub that resided there, we found a sinkhole full of concrete, old take-out containers, thread spools and assorted garbage. Apparently the builders had a bunch of extra crap, so they dug a hole in my flowerbed and filled it up with the leftovers. We’re trying to get it all out- but a sledgehammer just ain’t cutting it!
