Syllabus

<p>Mechanic’s lien — Description of property — Amendment of description.</p> <p>1. If several buildings are standing on ground belonging to the same owner and so related to each other as to subserve a common purpose, a lien for debts contracted in the erection of the one extends to the others, and the building out of whose erection the liens arise may be either the principal or the subsidiary building, and the principal and subsidiary buildings may be coterminous or may be separated by an interval or space.</p> <p>2. Where a person purchases two adjoining lots at different times and takes title by different conveyances, and thereafter uses and occupies the two lots as a single property, and builds upon one of them or partly upon one and partly on the other a garage, and a mechanic’s lien is filed for the building of the garage against one of the lots only, the lien may be subsequently amended so as to include in the description the entire property as used and occupied at the time the garage was built.</p>
