Text: We next consider the alternative claim of the plaintiff bank that the contractor, in order to prevail, was required to show the value of work performed after June 23, 1980, the date on the lien waiver. Assuming the major premise of the bank's contention is sound, we believe the required showing is fully satisfied by the stipulation of facts showing an unpaid balance for all work performed of $54,674.43, the testimony of the contractor that the lien waiver covered payments made prior to June 23, 1980, and the additional testimony that as of that date, the contractor had been paid in full. We sustain the trial court's finding that the defendant contractor established a lien prior to the bank's mortgage (or its subsequent interest as title holder) in the sum of $54,674.43 plus interest and costs.
