If I’m married can I still use this service?

Roboseyo pointed out this article from the Korean Times- makes me wonder if my husband can’t do it would he be offended if I called one of these guys to?  My latest example/need/justification would be the cupboard door that fell off it’s hinge and both screws were stripped .

I think that this really is a great service – I’m sure it’s putting women’s rights back a few years, but really, when my toilet won’t stop running at 10 PM and I’m tired and don’t want to deal with it, absolutely I would call these guys and get one of them over to just get it done.  BUT I do have to wonder if they actually could since, at least in my experience, Korean men don’t seem particularly skilled in regards to home repairs.  I can only assume that has to do with the cost of a plumber being so much cheaper here than back home.

What do you think?

    “Korean men don’t seem particularly skilled in regards to home repairs.”

    You take that back! :) Haha. My hubby is Mr. Fixit, actually. He finished our basement and replaced our living room flooring, kitchen cupboards and floors, etc. It’s true though, my girlfriends with Korean hubbys always express jealousy at his home repair skills. Hmm…maybe if he can’t find a job in Korea, I’ll tell him to apply at Any Man. kekeke…

      Whoa! I do take it back. I’ve never heard of such handiness here… perhaps your husband has been influenced by all the homedepot ads? What do you think? tee hee
