Syllabus

<p>Mechanics’ Liens — Notice — Materialmen — Duplicate Statements — Subcontractors. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133, requiring all persons furnishing materials to be used in the construction of a building to deliver to the owner duplicate statements of the materials, applies to a subcontractor furnishing the materials for installing a furnace; and without delivery of such statements, he cannot claim a lien, except for work done that can be segregated.</p> <p>Same — Duplicate Statements — Failure to Furnish — Excuses. A lumber company furnishing the lumber for the construction of a building is not relieved from the necessity of furnishing duplicate statements to the owner, under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133, by reason of the fact that the owner lived upon the premises and was working on the building a portion of the time.</p> <p>Same — Foreclosure—Attorney’s Fee — Appeal. Where an attorney’s fee of $150 was allowed upon foreclosing a mechanics’ lien for $845, upon reversing the case for error in allowing a nonlienable item of $695, the attorney’s fee will be correspondingly reduced.</p>
