<p>Mechanic's Lien—Filing—Completion of Work.—Under Code of Civil Procedure, section 1187, as amended by Stats, and Amend. 1887, page 154, providing that every person, sav'e the original contractor, claiming a lien, must, within thirty days after the “completion” of the building, file his lien, but that any “trivial imperfection” in the construction shall not be deemed such a lack of completion as to prevent the filing of the lien, a lien filed before the doors of a house were hung, the plumbing finished, the closets and bathroom completed, ventilators placed, and moldings put in, is premature, and cannot be enforced, as such things are not “trivial imperfections,” but are necessary to be done to effect a “completion” of the building.</p>
