<p>MECHANICS’ LIENS</p> <p>. Time for Filing Mechanic’s Liens can not be Extended by Custom of Trade as to Making Repairs.</p> <p>When the roof on a building has been substantially completed and the property sold, the purchaser making what repairs were necessary at that time, the contractor can not by making repairs to the roof ten months later, during the owner’s absence and without his consent, extend the time for filing his mechanic’s lien; and no custom of the trade by which slate-roofers repair roofs after all other workmen have finished with the building will operate to give validity to a lien filed more than ten months after such substantial completion.</p>
