***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m not even going to dance around this one: we’ve got a $200 Home Depot gift card up for grabs.
This week’s stellar prize comes direct from Home Depot themselves as part of their “What’s Your Pro Project” contest. But the good ol’ HD isn’t just asking about your upcoming heavy duty projects, they’re looking to lend a hand too. Thanks to their 1,200 local Tool Rental Centers, you can borrow over 325 professional tools, from power and hand tools to yard, garden and electrical equipment. Sure beats buying that aerator you only use once a year.
So if you want a shot at the $200 gift card, first check out their selection of tool rentals and then comment on this post with the phrase “GOTTA GET A [insert name of tool you’d most like to rent].” That’s right, to be eligible for the prize you have to tell us what tool you’d consider renting AND what project you might tackle with it (sorry folks, we’ve gotta be sticklers on this one). For instance, I’ve already been daydreaming about renting a powerwasher to do some heavy duty clean-up on our front porch. Plus, who doesn’t like cleaning and looking like a badass at the same time? If only I could powerwash the dishes…
Alas, we’re not eligible for the prize (soooooo jealous of you guys), but at least we get to hear about all your power tool fantasies and the pro projects you might be tackling soon. Entries will be accepted until Wednesday, March 25th at 8pm EST and the prize is only available to United States residents. The one, randomly selected winner will be announced later in the week. Good luck…
Any other questions you may have are answered in our Giveaway FAQs. Screen grabs courtesy of Home Depot Tool Rental Centers.

GOTTA GET A power washer and an airless paint sprayer. Time to finally get the deck looking ship shape. We replaced a bunch of bad boards last summer but ran out of good weather before we could get it painted and stained.
Nancy F says
Gotta get. . . an airless paint sprayer!
I live in a garden apartment where the living and dining room are one large area. I want to paint it, but it’s a lot to roll! This would make like soooo much easier! As a renter, painting is one of the few things I can do to make it more “my own!”
Mikey Scripps says
GOTTA GET an aerator. This is the 2nd year in our new house and last summer, I did all I could….seed by hand, rake by hand, patchmaster…etc, etc…..but it wasn’t enough. THE LAND HAS GOTTA BREATHE….BREATHE I SAY!!!!

Danielle Moll says
Gotta get a floor maintainer!! Let’s just say that three dogs and 200 year old wood floors DO NOT get along. I would love to fix them up and bring out their old, historic beauty!

Alexis B says
GOTTA GET A POWER WASHER! This would be a dream come true, I keep asking my husband to rent one so we can clean our siding and surrounding pathways but he always complains that it’s too expensive. I tried the Windex cleaner through a normal garden hose and it just wasn’t the same :(. The obsession also runs in the family since my mom asked for one for her birthday 4 years ago ;).

But I would also LOVE to get the panellift drywall lifter; we’ve got popcorn ceilings through the whole house and I’d LOVE to get rid of it. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Katy says
My husband and I moved into our cute little starter home last year. Not so cute, however is the stained and overused carpet that we inherited when we bought the home. To add to its charming character, we adopted two dogs that have been kind enough to add some good ole southern red clay to the carpets coloring. In addition to the clay the dogs also add lots of their hair to the carpet, which naturally, carpet seems to cling to dog hair, no matter how often I vacuum, there always seems to be some hair left on the carpet. In light of our carpet conundrum, my husband and I have finally decided that its time to rid our home of the carpet and dive into the DIY world once more and install some hardwoods throughout our home. The hardwoods would be much easier to clean, won’t get stained by clay, and will look oh so much better than our stained carpet. A Floor Stapler, would be an absolute must to have on hand when starting this project. We are hoping to tackle this project in the next few months, hopefully just in time before my parents visit!
Traci says

GOTTA GET A tile saw! I would love to put up a subway tile backsplash in my kitchen…

Gotta get a rear tine tiller! Or a chainsaw. Our yard was let go for about a year before we moved in and either of these would be great to help tame the jungle!
Kimberly in OH says
GOTTA GET A pressure washer to clean the house, concrete, and whatever else gets in the way! :)
bungalow_bliss says
GOTTA GET A DRUM SANDER to refinish the hardwoods throughout the house!!! I know that gleaming floors would be the cherry on top after a long winter of work on the rest of the woodwork. And after doing all that by hand, I would SO LOVE to have the help of a power tool!
Carolyn Shupp says
