There are many more artistic projects that Mitch has done. His website is www.mitchafied.com. To contact Mitch, you can email him at mitch@mitchafied.com or call him at 818-317-4768.
Mitch and his wife, Dynnel, are in business as Watts Specialties International (WSI) (General Contractor's License #878908).
When asked what does WSI does, the usual response is "What do you need?" He can do anything.
I am very proud of his abilities and his integrity. I've done really well in not messing him up when he was growing up!

These above are projects I helped Mitchell (WSI) on recently. The top left are boxes made of "Ironwood" which is very dense and
hard. It is stained just a little bit and sealed. On the top right are boxes made from mahogany. I constructed these entirely. They
are stained or sealed as the client was going to redo the fence that's behind them and paint them the same color. I hope they
don't as the wood is beautiful. Scroll down for many more :-)


While this may not be artistic, it's interesting to me. In the top left here, you can see concrete below the steel cage area. That concrete is in a hole four
feet in diamenter and was originally 27 feet deep. See Brandon in the hole, click.
The steel that you see coming up and
bent over is 1.25 inches thick! There
are ten vertical rods in each of the
back holes. There are a total of 6 holes.
Two were 27 feet deep, four were 24
foot deep. These six holes took me
and two helpers over two months to
dig by hand with shovel, jackhammer,
rope and buckets.
On the right, you see the back right
corner of the cage. It's about twenty
feet wide.
To the left, you can see me and
Brandon lowering the cage over the
verticle steel rods down onto the
concrete piles that sink deep into the
ground below.


To the right, is a simple but very sturdy
shade structure. Each of the wooden post
are mounted on steep footing that are
deep into the concrete below the paving
stones. My helper Brandon and I
constructed this structure for Mitchell who
designed it. It's located in Burbank, CA.
Below are concrete supports for a three
story chimney. Below that is a view out the
finished windows.
I'd like to promote my son, Mitchell, and his work. Not to mention that I do a lot of it
myself working with him, Mitch has some of the highest standard I have ever seen.
Sometimes I really think he over does it. But the customers love the superior quality.
They KNOW if Mitch did it, it's GREAT! To see any of these, click here for larger images!
