Could I put a lien on the home Or what should I do to at least get reimbursed?

OregonConstruction Contract

I had a rent to own contract for one year. The manufactured home was completely unlivable. The bank would not even Finance the home. I had a year to fix it up with my own money and get it financeable while I also paid $1000 a month in rent that would not go towards any payment for the home. I spent over 20,000 out of my pocket to completely gut out and remodel this manufactured home with a contract between the owners and I that they would sell me the property for 210,000 once the year was up. With the stipulation that I would have 60 Days from the end of the contract to close out the sale of the home. Right Before the year was up I contacted a loan manager to get the loan ready and going. For some reason the loan manager was not able to close out the home by the 60 days even though I was in constant contact with him and he kept reassuring me everything was fine and we would be closing out on time. He was also for some reason in contact with the home owner letting them also know the progress of the loan. Right before the 60 days was up the loan manager told me he would not be able to close out the loan on time and he would not move any further with the home loan unless the owners agreed to give him 2 more weeks which they decided no they did not want to do. I should also mention I had to pay for the house to get appraised as part of the loan of buying it and it was appraised a little over $100,000 over the cost they were selling it to me for . I just went to court for eviction on this property and have 3 days to get out with no equity reimbursement or material reimbursement for all the work that I have put into it. What can I do about this and who would I talk to. I have a contractor's license would I be able to put a lien on the manufactured home until I am reimbursed for payment for the work that I've done?
