## Opinion text

MADDOX, Justice
(dissenting).
I believe that the trial court correctly held that Louisiana Well Service, Inc., was a “general contractor” within the meaning of Ala.Code 1975, § 34-8-1, because the drilling services that it performed were “improvements” or “services” within the meaning of those terms as contemplated by the Legislature. Cf. Sanwa Business Credit Corp. v. G.B. “Boots”Smith Corp., 548 So.2d 1336 (Ala.1989).
