And if, after notice given in writing, either party fails to erect and complete, within six (6) months time thereafter, one-half (½) of such fence, the party giving the notice may proceed to erect the entire partition fence and collect by law one-half (½) the costs of such fence from the other party, and he has a lien upon the land thus partitioned.
