CLAIMANT'S BRIEF IN OPPOSITION
TO OWNERS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Claimant, Earl Latsha Lumber Company ("Latsha") entered
into an oral contract with Hearthstone Remodeling to provide
materials to be utilized on a construction site located at 212
Clark street, Lemoyne, pennsylvania 17043. The owners of the
property at 212 Clark Street, Patrick R. Haffey and Henrietta M.
Haffey ("Owners") had contl'acted with Hearthstone Remodeling for
the construction of a twenty-four (24) feet by thirty-six (36)
feet triple car garage, including second story storage, as well
as the construction of a twenty-five (251 feet by thirty-six (361
feet driveway area.
(See, Exhibit B attached to Owner's
Preliminary Objectionsl. The construction was to take place in
the area at the rear of the existing building.
Latsha delivered a snbstantial amount of material to
~
the construction site on a nwnber of occasions, including
December 24, 1993, January 5, 1994, and January 10, 1994. No
claim has been made by the owners that the material, giving rise
to Latsha's $2,330.76 claim, was not utilized in the construction
project performed on their property. On April B, 1994, Latsha
provided the owners with PRELIMINARY NOTICE OF INTENTION TO FILE
A MECHANIC'S LIEN CLAIM AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY and NOTICE OF
INTENTION TO FILE A MECHANIC'S LIEN CLAIM AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY.
Copies of both doclments are in Owners' posession and are
attached to their Preliminary Objections as Exhibits A and C.
Latsha filed a Mechanic's Lien claim claiming $2,330.76
on May 11, 1994. The Owners filed Preliminary Objections to
Latsha's Mechanic's Lien claim on Jllne 3, 1994. Latsha has filed
an Answer to the Owners' Preliminary Objections and the present
Brief in opposition to Owners' Preliminary Objections.
II. ISSUE PRESENTED
1. WHETHER OWNERS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO LATSHA'S
MECHANIC'S LIEN CLAIM SHOULD BE DISMISSED SINCE OWNERS
DO NOT STATE A SUFFICIEN~ BASIS FOR THIS COURT TO GRANT
SAID PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO THE PRESENT MECHANIC'S
LIEN CLAIM?
(Suggested answer in the affirmative).
III. ARGUMENT
2. OWNERS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO LATSHA' S MECHANIC'S
LIEN CLAIM SHOULD BE DISMISSED SINCE OWNERS DO NOT
STATE A SUFFICIENT BASIS FOR THIS COURT TO GRANT SAID
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO THE PRESENT MECHANIC ' S LIEN
CLAIM.
In ruling on Owners' Preliminary Objections, it should
be noted thatl
It is also clear that when the sllstaining of
preliminary objections will result in a denial of claim
or a dismissal of suit, preliminary objections in a
mechanic's lien proceeding should be sustained only in
cases which are clear and free from doubt.
Castle Pre-Cast v. Strauss-Hammer, 416 Pa. Super. 53, 610 A.2d
503, 504 (1992) (Citation omitted).
- 2 -
In the present case, the Owners' argument, as set forth
in their Brief, is premised upon the fact that the triple car
garage constitutes an "alteration and repair" and therefore,
since a Preliminary Notice of Intention to File a Mechanic's Lien
Claim was not provided on or before the last date that Latsha
delivered material to the job site, the Mechanic's Lien claim is
barred. However, since the construction of the triple car garage
constitutes "construction and erection" within the meeting of the
Mechanic's Lien Act, 49 Pa. C.S.A. Section 1201, Owners'
Preliminary Objections must fail.
In determining whether the new building constitutes
cnstr\lction and erection, Latsha points to the contract documents
attached by the Owners to their Preliminary Objections (as
Exhibit B). The Owners do not dispute any of the information
contained therein and in fact, utilize facts from said contract
documents in their Brief in Support of preliminary Objections.
The contract indicates that a 24 feet by 36 feet triple car
garage was to be built on a new foundation along with a 25 feet
by 36 feet driveway, in the area to the rear of the existing
building. The garage was to be constructed with a side entrance
door, four double hung windows, electrical service, ten lighting
fixtures and nine electrical outlets. The building was also to
be covered with white vinyl siding to match the existing building
at 212 Clark Street with any exposed block to be painted white.
In addition, the garage was to provide second story storage.
2!!, Exhibit B attached to Owners' Preliminary Objections.
- 3 -
Given the above facts, Latsha believes the Superior
Court's decision in Anastasi v. Burnet, 171 Pa. Super. 464, 90
A.2d 636 (1952), is instructive in the present: matter. In
Anastasi, the defendants Burnet and his wife contracted for the
erection of a building adjoining a dwelling house. The
plaintiffs were subcontractors who supplied cement block and
brick work. The subcontractors completed their work on February
27, 1950 and on May 22, 1950 served defendants with Notice of
Intention to File a Lien. As noted by the Superior Court in
Anastasi, "the controlling question is whether the subject of the
general contract was an alteration to the existing dwelling on
the premises, or a new construction within the comtemplation of
the Mechanic's Lien Law." ~, Anastasi at ___, 90 A.2d at 636.
In holding that the new structure constituted "construction and
erection", the Court pointed out that although the new structure
was physically connected with the dwelling house with a doorway,
the dwelling was a complete unit in and of itself and the new
work WIIS in no sense a repair or alteration of the existing
residence building. Id. The Court further found that the new
structure was bl\il t to provide the defendant, Dr. Burnet with
quarters for his practice as a dentist. !.!!. The Superior Court
further found that:
In the present case the old building did not absorb the
new structure. On the contrary, the new wing was built
on new ground and was a new structure which no one
could possible mistake for a repair or 81 teration of
the old.
Anastasi at
---'
90 A.2d at 637.
- 4 -
As in Anastasi, the new building located at 212 Clark
Street constitute~ a "new structure" which no one could possibly
miytake for a repair or alteration of the old. In addition, the
lIew building is in no sense a repair or al teration of the
existing building.
In support of its argllntent that the construction of the
three car garage supports a finding of "alteration and repair",
the Owners rely heavily upon Zavislak v. Golumbeski, 65 Luzerne
Legal Register 87 (1974) . However, Zavislak is clearly
distinguishable from the facts of the present case and does not
alter the finding, based upon Anastasi, that the new building
constitutes "erection and construction." In Zavislak, a one
story extension was attached to an existing two story dwelling.
Pursuant to the contract, the contractor was to lay a crawl space
foundation, rough frame the addition, install a roof, as well as
a number of windows and a door. The contractor was not obligated
to finish the exterior or the interior of the addition, install
any wiring or plumbing. Furthermore, the contractor was not
obligated to install an}' insulation. In its Opinion, the Luzerne
County Court found the addition to the home to constitute
"al teration and repair". In doing so, the Court noted that the
addition was an unfinished, one story shell room attached to a
two story dwelling house with no "finishing", plumbing,
electric or insulation. ~, Zavislak at 91.
In the present case, the contract provided for the
construction of a three story garage on a foundation with second
story storage. In addition, the garage was sided to match the
existing building at 212 Clark Street and was furnished with
- 5 -
electrical service. Accordingly, Latsha submits that the Luzsrne
County Court's decision in Zavis1ak is not controlling in the
present case. A one story unfinished addition to an existing
home is not the equivalent of a three car garage and driveway
erected to the rear of an existing building. Therefore, Latsha
submits that the present construction qualifies as "erection and
construction" within the meaning of the Mechanic's Lien Act,
obviating the need to file a Preliminary Notice prior to the
completion of a subcontractor's work.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Owner's Preliminary
Objections to the Mechanic I s Lien claim filed by Earl Latsha
Lumber Company should be dismissed. Since the construction of
the three story garage constitutes "erection and construction"
under the Mechanic's Lien Act, no Preliminary Notice prior to the
completion of Latsha's work was required.
Respectfully submitted,

OWNERS' BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Claimant served formal notice of intention to file a claim for
Mechanics I Lien on Owners on April 8, 1994. Claimant filed the
inBtant Mechanics' Lien Claim in the Cumberland County
Prothonotary's Office on May 11, 1994, Owners filed Preliminary
Objections to Claimant's Mechanics' Lien Claim on June 3, 1994.
II
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Owners, Patrick and Henrietta Haffey, on August 24, 1993,
contracted with Hearthstone Remodeling for the addition of a 24
feet by 30 feet triple car garage to be built on the premiseB of
their residence located at 212 Clark Street, Lemoyne, Pennsylvania,
17043. (Owners Preliminary Objection Paragraph 2). Claimant, Earl
Latsha Lumber Company, delivered material to the construction Bite
pursuant to an oral contract with Hearthstone Remodeling. (Claimants
Mechanics Lien Claim Paragraph 4 I 5.). Pursuant to Claimant I s
claim, final delivery of materials to the construction site
occurred on January 10, 1994.(Claimants Mechanics Lien Claim
Paragraph 8). Claimant failed to serve the Haffeys with
preliminary notice of intention to file a Mechanic's Claim on or
before January 10, 1994, the date of final completion of Claimant's
work, but rather, only Berved Mr. and Mrs. Haffey with notice of
intention to file a Mechanic's Lien Claim on April 0,
1994. (Claimants Mechanics Lien Claim Paragraph 9).
III
ISSUES
1. Whether the addition of a garage to Owner I B existing
reBidence constitutes "erection and construction" or "alteration
and repair" purBuant section 1201 (10) and (11) of the "Mechanics'
Lien Law of 1963"and itB amendmentB.
2. Whether Claimants Mechanics' Lien Claim Bhould be stricken
as a result of claimant's fai'ure to serve Owners with preliminary
notice of Claimant's intention to file a mechanics' lien claim on
or before January 10, 1994, the date of final completion of
Claimant's work, pursuant to 49 Pa. C,S.A. Section 1501 (a).
3. Whether Claimant's mechanics' lien claim should be stricken
for failure to specifically allege in Claimant's Mechanics' Lien
Claim the date upon which Claimant served on Owners preliminary
notice of Claimant's intention to file a claim pursuant to 49 Pa.
C.S.A. Section 1~03 (4).
IV
ARGUMENT
CLAIMANT' S MECHANICS I LIEN CLAIM IS MADE IN CONNECTION TO AN
"ALTERATION AND REPAIR" AND MUST THEREFORE BE STRICKEN FOR
CLAIMANT' S FAILURE TO SERVE OWNER WITH PRELIMINARY NOTICE OF
INTENTION TO FILE SAID CLAIM ON OR BEFORE JANUARY 10. 1994. THE
DATE OF THE COMPLETION OF CLAIMANT'S WORK.
Section 1501 (a) and (b) of the "Mechanics' Lien Law of 1963"
sets forth the notice requirements necessary to perfect a
mechanics' lien claim. Where an addition falls within the meaning
of "erection and construction" pursuant to 49 Pa. C.S.A. 1201 (10),
the claimant for a mechanic's lien need only give the owner of the
property two notices: "( 1) formal notice of intention to file a
claim, and (2) written notice of having filed the claim within one
month of filing same." Bernard Zavislak vs. Frank Golumbeski,65
Luz. L. Reg. 87,89-90 (1974),
However, where an addition constitutes an "alteration and
repair", 49 Pa. C.S,A. 1201 (11), the claimant must, in addition
to the above, give to the owner preliminary notice of intention to
file a claim for a mechanic's lien on or before the date of
completion of his work in order to perfect his mechanic's lien
claim. Zavislak vs. Golumbeski, supra., at 90. Where, as here,
Claimant files a claim based upon an "alteration and repair" and
fails to give preliminary notice of his intent to file the claim
on or before the date of completion of his work, the mechanic's
lien must be stricken. Id. Since, Claimant's claim is based upon
a subcontract for the delivery of construction materials,
Claimant's work was complete as of January 10, 1994, the date of
final delivery. J.W. Dillard & CompanY, Inc. v, Pocono Airlines,
Ind.. 64 Luzern Leg. R. 225, 227-228 (1974).
In order to determine whether the instant addition qualifies
as an "erection and construction" or an "alteration and repair,"
this honorable court must determine whether the addition is
substantial enough in its own right to be considered new
construction, and whether the addition creates a significant change
in use or appearance of the existing structure. Zavislak vs.
Golumbeski, supra. at 90-91. The overlapping basis of the above
two tests centers upon whether the addition in question materially
changed the use and appearance of the original structure and the
2
extent and size of the improvement comparative to the original
structure.
The Court in Zavislak, supra., in striking off claimant's
mechanics' lien claim, rejected the contention that a 24' X 24',one
story extension built from the foundation up onto an existing 30'
X 60' , two story dwelling constituted an "erection and
construction" within the meaning of the mechanics' lien statute.
Although the addition before the court in Zavislak, supra., was an
unfinished shell, without electric or plumbing, the Court
specifically found that the addition did not create a new building
use nor did it "so entirely change(s) the external appearance of
the old building that it should be treated as new construction."
rg. at 92. The Zavislak,supra., Court observed that, "In virtually
all of the cases holding that new construction occurred, the
addition was at least as large as the existing building." IQ...
similarly, the addition in the instant case was contracted by
Owners to be built from the foundation up. As was the case of
Zavislak, supra., the addition of the 24' by 30' garage to Owners
original residence in the instant case, cannot be found to
significantly and materially change the appearance or the use of
the original residence. A garage is incidental to any residence
and the addition or absence of same from a residence cannot be said
to alter the character of a structure as a residence. F olcts
concerning the dimensions of the original residence as apposed to
the addition of the garage in the instant case, are not before the
Court as of the filing of this brief but may be ascertained through
deposition or other additional discovery.
The instant case is distinguished from that before the Court
in Anastasi vs. Brunet, 171 Pa. superior Ct. 464 (1952), There the
Court found that an addition to a residence which nearly tripled
the size of the original structure constituted a "construction and
erection" and not an "alteration and repair" for the purposes of
determining the validity of a mechanics' lien. Not only did the
Court in Anastasi, supra., emphasize the large size of the addition
compared to the original residence, the Court highlighted that the
addition was not intended to be used as part of the original
residence or even as an extension of the original residential
purpose, but was built and designed to function as a dentist office
complete with an operating room, dark room, reception room, single
car garage, and lavatory. xg, at 466.
The material change in the use of the original structure from
a family dwelling to a commercial dentist office was accentuated
by the fact that the addition and the original residence fronted
on two different streets and were serviced by two separate walkways
and driveways. Id, at 466. Thus, due to the large extent of the
addition and the fact that it's use was materially different from
that of the original structure, the Court found that the
construction of the addition went beyond an "alteration and repair"
and qualified as an "erection and construction."
The addition of the garage in the instant case does not change
the use of the original structure as a residence, but to the
contrary, merely augments its use as a residence by providing
3
additional storage space.
Since the addition of the instant garage does not change the
use of the original residence owned by Mr, and Mrs Haffey, but
merely augments the original structure's use as a residence, the
addition does not rise to the level of an "erection and
construction" but, rather, falls squarely within the definition of
al. "alteration and repair" pursuant to the Mechanic's lien law of
1963 and its amendments. As such, Claimant was required to serve
Owner's with preliminary notice of its int~ntion to file a
mechanics lien claim pursuant to 49 Pa. C.S.A. section 1501 (a) on
or before the date of complet ion of Claimant's work. Since
Claimant failed to provide Mr. and Mrs. Haffey with the said
preliminary notice on or before January 10, 1994, the date of the
completion of Claimants work, (Claimant's Mechanics' Lien Claim
Paragraph 8) Claimants Mechanics' Lien must be stricken.

~:~L~:: TO SPECIFICALLY ALLEGE IN CLAIMANT'S MECHANICS LIEN CLAIM
ES UPON WHICH CLAIMANT SERVED OWNER WITH PRELIMINARY NOTICE
or HIS INTENTION TO FILE THE CLAIM.
It is well established that strict compliance with the
mechanics' lien law is necessary to effect a valid claim. Flick
Const..Inc. vs, Dvke, 584 A.2d 1033, 401 Pa. Super. 168, (1991).
"The right to a mechanic's lien is purely a creature of statute and
it is only available if the conditions of the legislature are
strictly followed." J.W. Dillard & Company, Inc. vs. Pocono
Airlines, Inc. , et, al., 64 Luzerne Legal Register 225, 226 (1974),
citino, Brann & Stewart Co. vs, Consolidat~~ Sun Rav. Inc., 433 Pa.
574,577(1969), U.S, Cert. Denied 396 U.S. 840 (1969). Where "the
sustaining of preliminary objections will result in a denial of the
claim or dismissal of suit, preliminary objections in a Mechanics
Lien proceeding should be sustained only in cases which are free
from doubt." Castle Pre-Cast Superior Walls of Delaware, Inc. v.
Strauss Hammer, 610 A.2d 503,504 (1992), citino, Chambers v, Todd
Steel picklino, Inc.. 323 Pa. super 119, 470 A.2d 159 (1983).
Section 1503 of the "Mechanics' Lien Law of 1963" clearly sets
forth the specific requirements which must be stated in a
mechanics' lien claim. Section 1503 (4) specifically provides that
the claim shall state, "if filed by a subcontractor, the name of
the person with whom he contracted and the dates on which
preliminary notice, if required, and of formal notice of intention
to file a claim was given." (Emphasis added.) 49 Pa. C, S. A.
Section 1503 (4),
Claimant alleges in its Mechanics' lien claim that it
furnished materials to Owners' residence pursuant to an oral
contract with Hearthstone Remodeling, the general contractor
employed by owners (Claimant's Mechanics' Lien Claim Paragraph 4,
5). Claimant's "Mechanics' Lien Claim" at paragraph 4 and 5, ThUS,
Claimant is a subcontractor wi thin \:he meaning of 49 pa C, S. A.
4
section 1201 (5). As such, having established that the addition in
question is an "alteration and repair" pursuant to 49 Pa. C.S.A.
1501 (a), Claimant's failure to specifically allege the date upon
which preliminary notice was given to owner in Claimants Mechanics I
Lien Claim renders said claim defective. Thus Claimant's
Mechanics I Lien Claim must be stricken pursuant to 49 Pa. C.S.A.
1503 (4).
III
CONCLUSION
Since Claimant failed to serve owners with preliminary notice
of intention to file a Mechanics' Lien Claim in connection with an
"Alteration and repair" on or before the date of the completion of
Claimant's work pursuant to 49 Pa. C.S.A. 1501 (a), and since
Claimant failed to specifically sct forth in Claimant's Mechanics I
Lien Claim the date upon which said preliminary notice of intention
to file the claim was served upon owners, owners respectfully
request this Honorable court sustain the Preliminary Objections of
Owners to Claimant's Mechanics' Lien Claim and strike off
Claimant's Mechanics' Lien Claim.

ANSWER OF EARL LATSHA LUMBER COMPANY TO PRELIMINARY
OBJECTIONS OF OWNERS, PATRICK R. HAFFEY AND HENRIETTA M. HAFFEY
AND NOW, comes Claimant, Earl Latsha Lumber, Co.
("Latsha"), by and through its attorneys, Peters & Wasilefski,
and answers Owners, Patrick R. Haffey and Henrietta M. Haffey's
Preliminary Objections as follows:
1. Admi t ted.
2.
Admitted in part and denied in part.
It is
admitted that Latsha claims $2,330.76 from the owners as a result
of an oral contract between Latsha and Hearthstone Remodeling to
supply certain materials which were utilized at the Owner's
property located at 212 Clark Street, Lemoyne, PA 17043. It is
denied that Paragraph 2 is a complete and accurate statement of
Latsha's claim which is set forth in the Mechanic's Lien claim
which has been filed with this Court. Said document speaks for
itself. By way of further answer, Latsha also filed a claim for
alterations and repairs conducted at said premises.
3.
Admitted in part and denied in part.
It is
admitted only that Exhibit B attached to Owners' Preliminary
Objections appears to be a contract between Hearthstone
Remodeling and the Owners. It is specifically denied that the
Owners' characterization of the document attached as Exhibit B is
complete. By way 0 f further answer, said document speaks for
itself.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is
admitted only that Owners were provided with PRELIMINARY NOTICE
OF INTENTION TO FILE A MECHANIC'S LIEN CLAIM AGAINST YOUR
PROPERTY on April 8, 1994. It is denied that this is the only
notice provided to the Owners. ny way of further answer, Owners
were provided with NOTICE OF INTENTION TO FILE MECHANIC'S LIEN
CLAIM AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY, also on april 8, 1994. Copies of
both documents are in Owners' possession and in fact, are
attached to their Preliminary Objections.
6. Denied. It is specifically denied that Claimant's
Mechanic's Lien Claim is barred since Claimant failed to give
Owners preliminary written notice of its intention to file a
Mechanic's Lien on or before January 10, 1994, the date of
completion of Claimants work, as required by 51501 (a) of the
Mechanic's Lien Lawl 49 P.S. 51501 (a). To the contrary, said
provision is not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the
present case. By way of further answer, in cases of construction
and erection, it is unnecessary to file said "preliminary written
notice" prior to the completion of the subcontractor's work.
7. Denied. It is specifically denied that Claimant's
Mechanic's Lien Claim is barred as not filed within four months
of the completion of Claimant's work as required by 51502 (a) (1)
of the Mechanic's Lien Law; 49 P.S. 1502(a) (1). To the contrary,
Latsha filed this claim on May 11, 1994, "within four (4) months
after the completion of his work", See, 49 P.S. 51502(a)(1).

MECHANIC'S LIEN
NOI 94-2512 - MLD
IN REI DEFENDANT'S PRELIMINARY OBJEC~ION TO THE COMPLAINT
BEFORE SHEELY. P.J.. BAYLEY. J. AND OLER. J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Here we are asked to decide whether the plaintiff'S
mechanic's lien claim should be stricken for plaintiff'S failure
to serve defendants with preliminary notice of intention to file
the claim.
DISCUSSION
Defendants filed preliminary objections to plaintiff'S
mechanic's lien claim in the form of a demurrer. The question
presented by the demurrer is whether, on the facts averred, the
law says with certainty that no recovery is possible. A demurrer
should be sustained only in cases where the plaintiff has clearly
failed to state a claim on which relief can be granted. Eckell
v. wilson, 409 Pa. Super. 132, 597 A.2d 696 (1991). "All
material facts set forth in ths complaint, as well as all
inferences reasonably deducible therefrom, are admitted as true
for purposes of review." l'ittsburqh National Bank v. perr, 431
Pa.Super. 580, 584, 637 A.2d 334, 336 (1994).
In the instant case, defendants contracted with Hearthstons
Remodeling for the addition of a twenty-four feet by thirty-four
NO. 94-2512 - MLD
feet triple car garage. Plaintiff delivered material to the
construction site pursuant to an oral contract with Hearthstone
Remodeling, final delivery occurring on January 10, 1994.
Plaintiff then served defendants with notice of intention to file
a mechanic's lien claim on April B, 1994. Defendants ask that
the mechanic's lien claim be stricken for plaintiff's failure to
serve preliminary notice of intention to file the claim on or
before the date of the completion of the work on January 10,
1994.
The type of notice that plaintiff needed to give defendants
turns upon the court's categorization of a three car garage as
either "erection and construction" or "alteration and repair."
Plaintiff avers that the construction of a twenty-four feet by
thirty-six feet garage constitutes "construction and erection."
If true, plaintiff need only have given defendants two notices
for perfection of the mechanic's lien claim to have occurredl I)
formal notice of intention to file a claim, and 2) written notice
of having filed the claim within one month of filing same. ~
49 Pa. C.S.A. 51501 (b). If the garage constitutes "alteration
or repair" as defendants contend, plaintiff should have also
given preliminary notice of intention to file a claim for a
mechanic's lien on or before January 10, 1994, the date of
completion of plaintiff's work. See 49 Pa. C.S.A. 51501 (a).
We find the issue to be clearly resolved by the definitions
set forth in the Mechanics' Lien Law of 19631
2
NO. 94-2512 - MLD
only arises when the issue concerns whether an addition to the
existing structure itself is a substantial addition. Logically,
there is no issue of categorization when a triple car garage has
been constructed separately from the home. The defendants, then,
have mistakenly relied upon Zaviglak v. Golumbesk~, 65 Luz. L.
Reg. 87 (1984). In Zavislak, the court developed two tests to
determine whether an addition to a dwelling house itself
constituted a "substantial addition." In the present case, no
such issue exists.
Lastly, we note that defendant did not speak to the issue of
whether the mechanic's lien claim was defective because it did
not specifically state on its face to which category the garage
belongs. See Morrison v. Henderson, 126 Pa. 216, 220 (1889);
Wharton v. Real Estate Investment Comoanv, 180 Pa. 168, 176
(1897). Thus, we find that since the garage in question
constitutes "erection and construction" as defined by the law,
plaintiff gave proper notice to defendants.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this /2 tlJ
day of JANUARY, 1995, defendant's
demurrer is DENIED.
