(I don't know where the "hour" came from. It should be "your")
This should work:
$ FIND1="-maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*' -print"
$ GREP1="-v '\.\(deb\|gz\|tgz\|bz2\|tbz\|zip\)$'"
$ eval find /home/mike $FIND1 | eval grep $GREP1
But really, if you are using Bash I'd suggest using arrays because
multiple evaluation, word splitting and escape rules become easily a
mess.
$ FIND2=( -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*' -print )
$ GREP2=( -v '\.\(deb\|gz\|tgz\|bz2\|tbz\|zip\)$' )
$ find /home/mike "${FIND2[@]}" | grep "${GREP2[@]}"
