ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes a unique wall construction and spacer for use by unskilled labor in such construction. Preferably, the wall comprises a plurality of blocks arranged in layers one above the other, each of the blocks having an exterior face, an interior face, a top and a bottom, the top and bottom of each block having a wedge-shaped longitudinal groove therein aligned with the grooves of adjacent blocks. The spacer comprises a base supported against the interior faces of adjacent blocks, and first and second arms extending transversely from the base and supported against the tops of said adjacent blocks. Each arm includes at its distal or medial end upper and lower wedge-shaped tabs, the lower tab for extending downwardly into the groove or opening of a block underlying the arm and the upper tab for extending upwardly into the groove or opening of the block overlying the arm.
