I was walking in my town center the other day and saw this poster plastered on a utility pole. At first I thought that it was some sort of immigration scam. That made me look twice...

Yeah, those guys are minor league famous, and there are the inevitable jokes about what services they offer. I think it's a great idea!

It sounds like they are handy-men with a funny company name.

They've been around for a few years now.

Apparently they are quite popular with ticos/ticas for providing handyman services.

Never have heard what kind of rates they charge for household chores or repairs.

Aside from the expected jokes, they are legit. Checked out the website. Cute!
