No..''. The enemy of my enemy is my friend'' the workers boss is the contractor.....the workers can put a lien.....a lien has no pratical effect if you won't be selling the house within a year....they should simply knock on your door and ask you to pay them...if you don't they can't collect either with or without a mechanics lien unless they take you to small claims court....so just go straight to court...then they have a lien that won't expire for 10 years.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
