[CLBS] Mechanics lien reduced to judgment

I think there is something about the lien foreclosure sale having to occur 
within one year of the judgment.
         Also, Jed's comment raises another question.  The renewal of 
judgment statute changed the five year period to ten years.  Does anyone 
have a coherent (or not) explanation of how that statute would apply to a 
judgment that was in place prior to July 1??  That is, if a judgment was 
entered and presumably recorded prior to the effective date of the statute, 
does it have to be renewed within five years, or is it in effect for ten 
years before it has to be renewed?

Typically, the judgment would have also included foreclosure of the lien 
with a sheriff's sale of the liened property and the lienholder's right to 
credit bid in.  To the extend there is an unpaid portion of the judgment 
left it would be treated in the law like any other judgment i.e. a lien on 
any other of Debtor's real property in the county where it is recorded and 
has to be renewed every 5 years.

Does a mechanics lien which has been reduced to a judgment and recorded as a 
judgment lien lose the statutory quality as a mechanics lien?

In other words, can it be avoided if turned into a judgment?
