ABSTRACT:
A system and associated method for forming a window opening in a poured concrete wall and installing a window therein includes a one-piece reusable window buck having a number of retainers temporarily coupled thereto. An anchor portion of each retainer becomes embedded in the poured concrete wall and after the window buck is removed from the window opening formed in the wall, the window is easily and conveniently installed in the window opening and secured therein by the window retainer and cooperating clip on the window frame without the need for additional mechanical fasteners or tools.
