Additional work on an old building will be treated as a new erection or construction within the meaning of the mechanic’s lien law as it existed prior to the adoption of the constitution of 1874, where it appears that there was such a newness of structure in the main mass of the building as to effect an entire change of its external appearance; and denote a different building from that which gave place to it, though in the composition of the new structure some of the old parts may have entered.</p> <p>2. A mechanic’s lien may be filed against such a structure without written notice given by claimant to owner of an intention to file a lien on or before the day claimant completed his work, as required by sec. 2 of the Act of June 4, 1901, P.
