Who am I? in Brea CA. I went to Mariposa elem.

I build Gates, Fences, Plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint,
install toilets, faucets, ceiling fans, switches & outlets My name is Mic Finnie and I grew up right here on Hazelwood Pl. in 1966 for kindergarten in the 1st. year that they opened and was in the 1st. class that went K-6 there. I was a Cub Scout, I was a Boy Scout, I went to Brea Junior High and Brea Olinda High Schools. I then went on to the United States Air Force where I was an Air Traffic Controller in Germany. I left the Air Force way too early because I was too young to know any better! I drove a truck for a while and made a stop in Ohio that ended up lasting for about 27 years ; /
I sold cars for 20+ years and owned and ran an auto detail shop for about 7 years. I learned that I liked working with my hands a lot more than anything else that I have done. I ended up with 2 amazing daughters and once they were grown and off to college, I decided It was time for me to pack up and move back home! I Love Brea, and I now live close enough that I can see the street that I grew up on from my apartment's balcony and I can watch the sunsets each night. Now to me that is paradise! In the last 4 ½ years, I had the opportunity to spend updating a house that hadn’t had any maintenance performed on it in the last 30 years. Some of the improvements that I have made to this property to improve it’s value preparing it for sale include a new sink and faucet, or even a toilet. A freshening up of your living room, or the interior of your house or go outside and spice things up with something as simple as flower boxes around your yard, or maybe a new a modern style fence, a gate, you can call me and know that you are getting a local friend who can get the job done without taking you to the poor house!!! Oh BTW,
I also clean detail and polish cars! So if you want it done right! Call Mic Finnie!

Hey everyone, are you all set for the El Nino this year?
It's going to rain a lot! Are the drains in your yard clean, or will your yard flood?
I can help!!!
I can clean out your drains with a Hydro-jet! It's much safer on the pipes than a snake is!

My latest fence & gate should look a lot like one that I had built recently, as the homeowner was so happy with what I had built on the west side of their house, they requested that I come back to do the east side of the house. Both sides had their challenges, as it was in the high 90's the whole-time weather wise!
But on this job, I was fighting tree roots!

10/04/2026

Well, I went to work this morning and opened the back of my truck and found all of my tools missing! Someone had broken into my truck over night and taken $4500.00 worth of tools, batteries even my tape measures.
My daughter Kelsey has started a go fund me page to help recover some of the expenses of getting my tools back.
A Handyman without tools is not too handy!

This was a rental home that I was asked to go to see if I could repair their door. I got there and the door was not only missing a window, but it was literally broken in half! The door had a crack that went through the door from around the door k**b.
So, this is a replacement door, which is "knotty Alder". What I didn't expect was to have to repair all the knots in the "Knotty Alder" door before I could paint it.
Once I had made repairs it was on to paint. That should be simple and straight forward right? Well, you would think so. I sprayed the door, it came out perfectly and 2 minutes later it started to lightly rain for about 15 seconds just enough to ruin the paint. Well I let it dry, I sanded it down and prepared to paint again but checked the weather and it said that all the rain was gone, so I sprayed another coat of paint it came out perfectly and it rained again! 😠
I decided to take the rest of the day off, and it never rained another drop! 🫤
Well, I got both sides of the door painted, the outside is obviously a darkbrown the inside is a light cream color.

My job yesterday was to prepare this job for stucco repair.
This homeowner had just had a re-pipe done on their home. Of course the plumber just cuts the holes in the walls does the plumbing and leaves and well leaves a mess for the homeowner.
So, what you see me doing here is placing 1"x2" pieces of wood in the holes top & bottom in the holes so the outer peice has something to rest against and to be screwed to. This also works well for drywall repair. 😉

One of my very good customers, called and said they needed help with their shed. Apparently bees had made a home for themselves underneath the shed.
They already had someone take care of the bees, but that left a big hole in the floor on the right side of the shed, and I found the floor on the left side was rotted out so, it better be replaced as well. Now the homeowner built this shed and I'm telling you he did an incredible job and probably used twice as many screws and nails as were necessary. 🤣
Nonetheless, as small as this job was it was definitely an adventure! It took 2 full days to get done.
I cover the 2x4's below with silicone, and filled the gaps between the 3/4" treated plywood with silicone. So, nothing is going under and nothing is coming up from below either. 😉

The last fence that I had posted, I had added lights to some of the posts and posts caps to all of the others. Well, I left in the middle of day so I didn't get the chance to see how everything looked in the evening or at night.
Well, here are the evening pictures. 😁

A few weeks ago I started this project, it took a little longer than usual, because it was hotter than, well it was really hot!!!
The old fence was showing signs of wear! 🤣 so it was time for it to go, the fence was 100' long and looked like 100 years old. As usual the new fence always starts out with getting stained prior to being built, and a 2nd coat after. If it's not done that way, it's impossible to stain between the fence pickets and below the fence.
If you're not going to do it right, why do it at all? 😉
