Pete discusses the importance of liens, and how to use them effectively.
When the town folk thought Huckleberry Finn drowned in the mighty Mississippi, they decided to have a church service. While the congregation sang, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," Huck Finn was in the attic above the congregation listening. About the time the congregation was ending with the chorus, "Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarm," Huck fell through the ceiling, landing in the center isle unhurt. Many people thought it was a miracle, except those who knew him best!
Although Huck was leaning too heavy on the church ceiling, I want to talk about putting some weight on a property owner and general contractor in the form of a "lien."
