What is the name of your state (Missouri)?

Is there a time limit (statute of limitations) for a subcontractor to file a lien against a homeowner? This is for addition of a pool with electrical work.

Work was completed Nov 2007 (approx 11 months ago), now electrician says he will file lien.

-General Contractor was paid promptly (within 10 days after electrical work completed).
-Did not know/interface with electrical sub-contractor at all (did not know who it was)
as the general con was the contact for any subs.

GENERALLY, the lienor (guy who did the work) must file within six months after the last substantial work he did.

(That's what I thought as other research I've done shows similar results.)
