Dear Sir or Madam:
Please consider this as a formal' request to place a Lien against the property of Mr. Douglas G.
Rieck, address as shown above. R&J Custom Countertops, a company based in Idaho Falls,
Idaho, has taken every step to avoid this action, but to no avail. Specifics are shown below.
Amount Owing to R&J by Douglas Reick: Two Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Nine and Zero
One Hundredths Dollars. ($2,689.00).
Reason for Request for Lien: R&J Custom Countertops (R&J) was contracted by Mr. Rieck to
furnish and install custom solid surface countertops and drop-in sinks, in accordance with the
attached contractual agreement (Proposal and Acceptanee dated 1 1/14/02). T oral agreed upon
price at contract signing: $2,409.00.
On November 14, at the time of signing, Mr. Rieck gave R&J a personal check in the amount of
$1,279.50 as the agreed upon down payment. R&J deposited this check in its account at the Bank
of Commerce in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Balance of $1,129.50 to be paid upon installation by R&J.
Mt. Rieck requested that R&J install the countertops on November 19, to meet construction
schedule. R&J agreed to this date. Mr. Rieck agreed to pay the installation balance of $1,129.50
upon installation the 19th.

All services w ere performed a nd c ompleted/installed b y R &J a s contracted o n November 1 9,
2002. R&J drove from Idaho Falls Idaho to Afton and installed the countertops. Mr. Rieck was
not present during the installation. His son said that Mr. Rieck would make payment. R&J
returned to Idaho Falls.
On November 27, 2002, R&J was advised by its Bank that Mr. Rieck's check dated 11/14/02
was not honored, due to INSUFFICIENT FUNDS (see attached copy of check).
At this point, R&J had two items owing from Mr. Rieck. These were a bounced check for the
down payment ($1,279.50) and the balance due at installation ($1,179.50).
As of 12/11/02, in spite of repeated and persistent attempts by R&J to be paid by Mr. Rieck, no
monies have been received by R&J. Further details are provided below.
Legal Description of Property: Mr. Rieck's street address where the items w ere installed i s
shown above, as 131 North Adams in Afton. As near as R&J can determine, the legal description
is Part of Lot 2, Block 4, of the Alton Town Site. This is a single family dwelling. The property
was deeded from Suzan Pauling to Douglas Rieck, and recorded by the Lincoln County Clerk on
October 11, 2002.
Attempts Made by R&J to Avoid This Action (Request For Lien): Numerous attempts have
been made by R&J to obtain payment, without results. These include the following:
November 27: Called'Mr. Rieck in the morning, before R&J knew the check had
bounced. We talked about the installation and he expressed complete satisfaction. He
promised to send a check for the balance ($1180.70) that same day (11/27).
November 27: R&J learned in the afternoon (from its Bank) that the check for $1,279.50
was INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. A copy of this check is attached. R&J immediately called
Mr. Rieck but he was not available. R&J left a message.
· November 29: R&J called Mr. Rieck again, several times, and left messages.
November 30: R&J again called Mr. Rieck, and this time reached him. We discussed the
bounced check, and also, the balance ($1,179.50) due and owing. R&J requested full
payment b y December 2. M r. R ieck s aid h e would contact h is investor a nd straighten
everything out.
December 2: R&J called Mr. Rieck repeatedly on this date to check status. A party
answered at the (307) 886-9498 number and advised he could be reached at (307) 885-
9498, which was his jobsite number. R&J finally reached Mr. Rieck late in the day. He
said he couldn't reach his investor but that R&J shouldn't worry and that full payment
would be forthcoming. He said he had been pre-approved for a loan and would send full
payment to R&J by December 11, at which time he'd have his loan money. R&J said

this would be okay, but onlY if he faxed this information to us no later than December 3.
He took R&J's fax number, but the information was never received by R&J.
December 6: After several days trying unsuccessfully to reach Mr. Rieck, R&J called the
Alton Police Department for guidance on the bounced check for $1,279.50. R&J spoke
with Officer Tim Heggenstaller, who was extremely helpful. He asked for a copy of the
check and the contract, which R&J faxed.
December 6: Mr. Rieck called R&J and was very upset over a visit he got from Law
Enforcement over the bounced check. He threatened to "stall", and delay payment as long,
as possible. After this conversation, R&J opted to send this Request For Lien in an
attempt to secure/ensure payment.
