to construct, alter, or repair an article of value, the mechanic or
tradesman, if the construction, alteration, or repair is completed and
not taken away and the mechanic's or tradesman's fair and reasonable
charges not paid, may, after sixty (60) days after the charges became
due:
(1) sell the article of value; or
(2) if the article of value is susceptible of division, without

to pay the charges.
