Abstract: As a masonry or block wall is constructed, plates are placed through the wall between courses. Anchor assemblies are then secured to the ends of the plate and extend downwardly and outwardly at approximately 45.degree. from the vertical and are secured to anchors within the ground. Vertically extending plate portions depend from each end of the plates and engage the faces of the wall and support the wall until it can be braced by the installation of the roof assembly. At this time, the anchor assemblies can be removed and the plate driven outwardly from between the courses with the resultant apertures then being mortared in the usual way.
