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?

Suzanne says
TOOL ME! I need a nail gun–I have a very boring 90’s home that I’d love to beef up with some trim. Everything from new baseboards to board and batten to crown molding.

Tool me! Finally installing a wood floor over my temporary, turned not so temporary, subfloor is my dream project. Getting some tools to install the floor would be a great impetus to finally make a decision and move forward on the project.

TOOL ME!
My boyfriend’s been a peach lately, and he really wants to learn how to build timber frame structures, so I’d probably splurge on a nice chisel and a mortising machine for him. Largely because I know I’d get a pergola and a sugar shack out of the deal :^)
