Spring is when we start to take action on certain home renovation, improvement and maintenance activities. This includes possibly sprucing up the outside of the house after a long winter; trees to trim, bushes to hedge, gardens to till, lawns to aerate.
What do all these activities have in common? They all require some type of power tool or specialized equipment.
Yet, with the economy the way it is these days, who has the money to purchase a large device that will be used once, perhaps twice a year?
Not me.
Just in time for the spring clean-up season, here comes The Home Depot - Tool Rental folks who have provided us with a $200 gift card (good towards equipment rentals only) to give to one of DailyHomeRenoTips.com visitors who reside in the United States …. as well as this time in Canada too, eh? 
Did you know you can save money on your spring projects by renting power tools, yard and garden equipment and hand tools at The Home Depot? I’d say I knew that renting these different home equipment, yes. I didn’t know that you could rent such devices from them.
Apparently, you can rent more than 325 types of professional tools at the 1,200 local The Home Depot Tool Rental Centers across Canada and the U.S. Whew knew?
To find all of the different power tools and equipment you can rent from them simply select this link to The Home Depot Tool Rental web site. I think you will be surprised.
Here’s the contest. Simply complete the contest form below indicating your name, email address (so we can contact you if you win) and select the category of tools you are most likely to need to rent this spring.
It is that easy.
You can enter as often as you want, but only one entry per person / email address / I P address per day; try to enter more than once per day will see your additional entries deleted. Keep entering more than once per day and you just might find all of your entries deleted. Play fair, now. 
The winner will be selected randomly. Chances of winning are based on the number of entries. Contest closes April 12, 2009 at Midnight E.T.
By entering our contest, the winner agrees to have their name, City and State / Province (but not their email address) published by our web site …. once the folks at The Home Depot - Tool Rental contacts them to confirm that they actually do live in the United States or Canada.
Good luck to everyone!
