I sold some cabinets to a national homebuilder. Originally I was to also install them also but they decided after I had ordered the cabinets that I was too expensive. They picked up almost $40,000 worth of cabinets (7 homes worth that I had ordered and paid for and stored in my warehouse 2 months earlier). They signed a bill of sale stating they would pay my company in full in 10 days.
That was 5 weeks ago.
They have already delivered the cabinets to all the houses and someone else has installed them and still I have not been paid.
Can I put a LIEN on each of the homes that MY cabinets are now installed in? Should I call the homeowner first and tell him/her the situation and give them a chance to call their builder? Time is really tight.
This $40K has stopped my business cold and my bills are adding up. I live and do business in Mississippi.
