You find the most interesting things in the primary clarifier at the sewage treatment plant. Running the "Rotorooter" up through the plugged outfall line from a large kivitallo is always good for excitement. There's even the possibility of a trip out to the countryside where you vacuum the solids out from the kesämökki septic tank.

it is very possible to find job here with English only. Basically, IT here in Helsinki is English-speaking. There are few problems:
1. Your CV should impress. Show something unique, something what they will buy. Something like this:
2. Here is the crisis, there are no job openings, so it could be problematic to find a job.

Give your email to people that have rosy dreams about getting a job without Finnish skills, so they can bitch and moan to you then... (just kidding, I prefer this status quo, where people warn aspiring immigrants and they still think that they are the special case to brake rule, but as they were warned first, they can only blame themselves)

You are welcome to come make an analysis, but I'd say its composed of layers of paper as well as woodbark and some white stuff that kills the flies... it is quite solid actually.
