LEVIN, J.

The issue is whether, to preserve the right to a mechanic's lien, one who deals directly with an owner must give notice of intention to claim a lien.

In Mielis v Everts, 264 Mich. 363; 249 NW 875 (1933), this Court held that notice was not required where the lien claimant and the owner dealt directly with each other.
