(NBC News) More Americans are outsourcing their household chores.
A survey of 2,500 members of Angie's List found nearly half farming out yard work and a third outsourcing house cleaning this year.
Just in time for this new found demand to find someone to do those chores comes an app for the handyman industry called "TAKL", founded by Nashville's Willis Johnson.

It works like this: Go on the app, state the chore you need tackled and a provider like Corey Bates will respond.
"I assemble Ikea furniture, I mow lawns. do all kinds of jobs that allow me to use my hands," Bates explains.
