Click through to Amazon and tell me in the comments what you would buy if you won. There! Your first entry…just click the green button in the rafflecopter widget below to claim it and open up extra entry opportunities.

For $150, Krieg jig pocket hole, power tools, dehydrator, pasta maker. But I could use the money to fund a counter top dishwasher. I hate hand washing while facing the wall, and no window to look outside. That’s why my kitchen is so small and feeling obtuse. Where’s the fun in that?
