The lower block (17) is also spaced from the web (15) and connected to it by a series of ribs (19). The web includes a ledge (21) extending from its lower edge. The upper and lower blocks (16) and (17) include channels (22), (23), and (24) in which anchors (25), (26) and (27) are slidably located. A front sheet (28) of damp proof course material is bonded to the top of the ledge (21) and a rear sheet (29) of damp proof course material is bonded to the web (15) at the top.
