Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

In spite of the argument by appellee that the contract between the general contractor and the subcontractor alters the effect of Snead Construction Corp. v. Langerman, 369 So. 2d 591 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978), we find that our decision is governed by Snead.

REVERSED.
