The opinion of the court was delivered by

FATZER, J.:

This was an action to foreclose a mechanic's lien. The principal question presented is whether the trial court's finding that the plaintiff's lien was filed too late is supported by substantial evidence. As will be noted in the course of the opinion, the decisive question is one of fact: whether two isolated orders for materials were furnished under the original contract of the parties.
