How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Father’s Day #Giveaway! Thank Goodness for Home Depot!

in Everyday, Lifestyle on 06/07/13

“Honey, where’s the duct tape?”  This is a question I both hear, and sadly know the answer too.  Why?  Dear Hubby is a lot of wonderful things, but handy is just not one of them.  So I started to think, perhaps he would DO better, FIX better, CREATE better if he just had the right tools!  I mean he is crazy good with that duct tape, he has been known to swing a hammer and hang a picture with mad success, so imagine if he had all this:

HomeDepotGiveaway

The RYOBI drill is compact and powerful enough to handle any job on your project. The IntelliPort Technology protects battery cells, maximizes battery life and conserves energy so well it earned an Energy Star logo. The new and improved Lithium plus batteries improve performance of these and all Ryobi 18-Volt One plus tools. Compared to the 18-Volt One plus Ni-Cd battery, there are 4X more recharges, hold a charge 4X longer, have 35 percent more runtime and are 45 percent lighter. Add to that extreme weather performance and an on-board fuel gauge.

HomeDepotDrill

Dare I add that it’s pretty too!  Hubby and I are fans of the Home Depot so perhaps the next time we are out shopping four home reno needs we should steer clear of the paint and light bulb section and aim a little higher?  Sigh.  Imagine, home renovations completed without the aid of duct tape!  

Do you think this little beauty could make the difference in the Handy Man skills of your Hubby?   One lucky Canadian reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs will win a Ryobi 18V Lithium+ Compact Drill plus a $25 Home Depot Man Card (total value $175.00).   If your man wins, he gets to to turn in his “Man Card” (aka his gift card) and do some shopping!  Kind of love that!

MANCARD

A winner will be chosen from valid entries in the Rafflecopter form below.  Canada only.  Ends the day before Fathers Day!  Best of luck.
