$[$Defective Windows$]$ Connie hired a new contractor, Raul, to put new swinging doors and patio doors in her home. Connie purchased all $9$ doors herself from Door Surplus Warehouse. Unfortunately, Raul was not a good contractor and made a mess of the doors. While the doors were initially in good shape, when they were delivered to Connie's property, Raul cracked two of the casings holding the doors, scratched three of the doors, and did not get the doors properly fitted into their frames. Connie received a bill for the doors from Door Surplus Warehouse, but she refused to pay. Connie was told that Door Surplus Warehouse would file a lien, but she believed that there was no basis upon which a lien would be granted. Raul, who refused responsibility for any of the problems with the doors or the installation of the doors, also filed a lien after Connie refused to pay him.

If Raul proceeds with attempting to obtain and enforce a lien, what is the most likely result?

Raul will win unless Connie has a writing signed by him in which he agrees that he will not seek a lien in the case of deficient work.

Raul will receive only half of his bill because he performed deficient work.

Raul will lose because he performed deficient work.

Raul will win if he proves that he had never had a problem installing windows before.

Raul will lose unless he already paid Good Windows for the windows, in which case he would win.
