You know you're an avid do-it-youselfer when you're ready to step up to an angle grinder. Most angle grinders are found in workshops, service garages and auto body repair shops but we're certain you'll find a use for this tool if you win it. Nothing matches an angle grinder when you need to cut or grind through anything.
This week our Giveaway is courtesy of Tough Weld Workwear.

We're starting February with an awesome giveaway from The Hectic Gourmet which is an epicurean cooking supply store that carries your favorite brands such as Le Creuset, Calphalon, Cuisinart, Wusthof and more.
This week The Hectic Gourmet is offering a KitchenAid Artisan 5 qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer (retail value $300) to the lucky winner of our Giveaway.
We've been coveting this KitchenAid Mixer for awhile and even though we're not gourmet chefs, we'd love to try our hand at making homemade pasta, fresh stuffed sausage or ice cream.
Features include a 325 watt motor that can handle any task you put to it and a tilt-back head which allows you easy access and a 5 qt. bowl with a comfortable handle. The construction of this mixer separates it from the competition as it's all-metal and built to last. You'll be cooking up a storm with a 10-speed control that includes flat beater, dough hook, wire whisk, pouring shield and 5-quart work bowl.

You can enter once-per-day and you've got three options! Enter all three ways to triple your chance of winning!

A couple months ago we shared the news on a new contest sponsored by IKEA called Rescue Remodel. You can nominate your favorite fire house and the winner gets a $25,000 kitchen remodel from IKEA. Well the nominations are closed and the finalists have been announced.
You can visit RescueRemodel.com and vote for your favorite fire house. You can vote once per day and voting ends February 28th, 2012 so make sure you get counted. You know these firemen need to stay healthy and strong and a new IKEA kitchen would definitely help.
We've been asked by IKEA and The Family Handyman to help spread the word on a great contest that will benefit the hardworking men and women of your local firehouse.
This summer we had the pleasure of visiting our friend James who is firefighter for the Tucson Fire Department. He showed us around his firehouse which happened to be one of the oldest in Tucson and to be honest we weren't envious of his spartan conditions.
It was obvious that the room that got the most use was the kitchen. When you're feeding roughly 15 men and women 3 times a day the kitchen takes some abuse and over time starts to break down. That's why we're going to nominate them to win a $25,000 kitchen remodel from IKEA as part of the Rescue Remodel Contest.
They'll outfit our brave men and women with a truly heroic kitchen featuring everything from cabinets and appliances to cookware and food storage. And since it's all from IKEA, it will be full of smart and innovative ideas to make their lives a little bit easier. It's the least we can do for all their hard work!
Nominate your local firehouse!
