This Giveaway is Now Closed!!
A few weeks ago I introduced you to our newest sponsor Home Talk which is a FREE online home improvement community that can answer all your home and improvement and gardening questions.
This is a great resource for helping you with your home improvement, home remodeling, or home repair questions and concerns. A place you can go to get real answers from real people and from Home improvement and design professionals. Home Talk can also be used to get questions you may have about gardening and lawn care. It is like having a group of homecare professionals right on hand to help you along with all your projects. You can also upload your own photos and share your tips and advice for certain home projects that you have had great success with to help others who may want to accomplish something similar. Have you had a chance to check it out yet?
I have actually used it a couple of times. My husband and I have been wanting to replace the outdoor carpet on our back porch with some Trex and so we used Home Talk to get some answers for some questions we had about the whole process. We also found a solution for dealing with some stubborn crab grass we have in our back lawn. There is so much great information on there from real people with real answers and solutions.
Well, our sponsors from Home Talk would like to give one lucky Idea Room Reader a chance to win a $100 gift card from Home Depot. Who couldn’t use that? I can think of a lot of things on my wish list from Home Depot.
To enter for a chance to win you must join Home Talk (it’s 100% free) and take a look at all the great services they offer. Then come back here and leave a comment letting us know which Home Talk service or area you would most likely use.
For additional entries you may:
1. Follow Hometalk on Facebook.
2. Participate on Home Talk by asking a question you would love answered or sharing your own advice and projects.
(Please provide a link to the discussion and your Hometalk username in your comment).
And…that is not all…Hometalk has offered to bump up the giveaway amount from a $100 Home Depot gift card to a $150 if we can get at least 500 giveaway entries!! How awesome is that? So be sure to encourage your friends and family to enter as well. I know many of you could use this for the various projects you have been wanting and needing to do in and around your homes!
Check out all the great ways Hometalk can help you in your quest for improving your home and garden. Hometalk also offers a weekly giveaway on their site. Each week the giveaway is different. This week Hometalk is giving away $250 to Northern Tool. Go ahead and enter that as well if you are interested.
This giveaway will close on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 11:59 pm PT.

I like that you can do a SEARCH on topics of your choice. It is so helpful to have tips and comments regarding household maintenance items. My husband isn’t interested in that sort of thing so it falls to me and I am always happy when a project goes smoothly. This site will help- thanks!
I joined. I would be most interested in their blogging feature

WOW. The hometalk website is super neat! I liked that you can search for specifics, such as…bathtub installation and similar questions pop up. Then, there are photos too! What a neat idea!
I checked out hometalk for some garden tips as well as tips for a project I am doing. Would love to win a home depot gift card to pay for some fun things I’m doing around the house.

I joined Homtalk. I think I will use it mainly for asking questions about my many projects.
I joined. I think the local talk feature is perfect. Lawn care and many other things are area specific.
I posted a question about fixing my lawn.
I would probably use the search feature since my whole house needs to be redone and i’m not really sure how to incorporate all my idea.
Hi! What a wonderful website! I’ll be using the website for design ideas for our new house, otherwise I’d be happy to lend my own design ideas to the other users who submit their own questions and pictures! Great website. Thanks!
I became a member. What a GREAT idea. I will be using the landscaping and outdoor living sections. I need a backyard makeover but I’m pretty clueless about plants and have no creative vision for the space. I love that there are pictures and DIY tutorials. So excited.
Following HomeTalk on FB :)
http://networkedblogs.com/kPAXC………..I posted a question!

Hometalk is a great resource for both Contractors and Home Owners. The group of folks there are very helpful and it’s a great resource to find local contractors to help with your projects!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me know about this site. We are in the process of buying a house that totally needs to be remodeled, so to save as much as possible, we are going to learn to do these things on our own. I think the area we will benefit from most is the bathroom. My husband is not quite sure about toilets, sinks, tubs etc. I will benefit most from gardening. I love getting in the dirt and this house needs to be landscaped. We will be using this site a lot!
I would use this for landscaping for sure. Thanks!
great site! I would use the kitchen section of the site!
Oooh, I think I’m going to like this site! The gardening part is going to be a great help!
Following Hometalk on Facebook.
Wow, what a great resource! I am really interested in the Green Living section.
I follow Hometalk on Facebook.
I have now joined Hometalk after never having heard of it before. I searched around, and it will be a great site to use for remodeling information for me. My house is only a few years old, but I would like to update a few things to make it more custom. I would probably use the remodeling info most as well as ideas from other users to see what they have done in their own homes. Love it!
I joined Home Talk and think I will use the Green Living area most :)
Here’s my question! http://www.hometalk.com/member/xliutebgtu My username is Shirley L

Thanks!

The have weekly give aways too!
i like the search feature and the weekly giveaway
I’m a Hometalk member (Michelle Hudak) and I could really use the local feature to see “Cleveland talk” and find contractors in my area. I need to have some flooring done and am interested in finding a contractor in my area as well as a good carpenter for some small projects I need done. I am hesitant to just pick someone from the phone book, classified ads or craigslist. This would really narrow my search and help me find someone to do the work that I can trust.
I llike Hometalk on Facebook: Michelle Hudak
I LOVE Hometalk! I joined a little while ago and I love their “Ask” service because I am a new DIYer, especially when it comes to home improvement projects. A little advice is always welcome! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I follow Hometalk on Facebook! THanks so much for the giveaway!
I just posted this question on Hometalk: “I am just a beginner DIYer and I’m in desperate need of a good sander! Nothing too huge as it will only be used on smaller projects, but good quality is a must! Any suggestions?”
If I win, I hope to use the $100 for toward a new sander! :) Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I’m going to use HomeTalk to get our yard cleaned up!
