The claim of lien, as amended, was filed within three months and the action to recover same was filed within 12 months "from the time the same shall become due." J. H. Morris Building Supplies v. Brown, 245 Ga. 178 ( 264 S.E.2d 9), rev. s.c., 151 Ga. App. 522 ( 260 S.E.2d 358). Compare Shirah Contracting Co. v. Waite, 143 Ga. App. 355, 357 ( 238 S.E.2d 728), Adair Mtg. Co. v. Allied Concrete Enterprises, 144 Ga. App. 354 ( 241 S.E.2d 267).
McMURRAY, Presiding Judge. In J. H. Morris Building Supplies v. Brown, 245 Ga. 178 ( 264 S.E.2d 9), the Supreme Court has reversed our judgments of affirmance of the trial court in J. H. Morris Building Supplies v. Brown; J. H. Morris Building Supplies v. Williamson; Shuman Owens Supply Co. v. Williamson; Shuman Owens Supply Co. v. Brown, 151 Ga. App. 522 ( 260 S.E.2d 358) (wherein we applied a strict construction of statutory law), with reference to the notice given by the filing of a claim of lien under Code Ann. § 67-2002, as amended by Ga. L. 1977, p. 675. Our opinion and judgments are therefore vacated and set aside.
See Code Ann. § 67-2002 (2), as amended (Ga. L. 1977, p. 675, effective March 23, 1977), which, in superseding the pre-existing law, imposed an additional requirement that a valid claim of lien specify "the date said claim was due." See also Lowe's of Savannah v. Jarrell, 150 Ga. App. 220 ( 257 S.E.2d 341); J. H. Morris Bldg. Supplies v. Brown, 151 Ga. App. 522. On appeal, we affirm.
