Abstract
A wall comprises building blocks with opposing like outer members spaced apart by at least two risers as cross members inward from outer member ends leaving a center open with a void between the outer members and the risers. The risers extend from the bottom of the block to above the outer member tops. A continuous tongue projects upward from the top of the outer members parallel thereto along the length of the outer member and mates with grooves along the bottom of a similar outer member stackable thereon for ease of block alignment. A next stacked block is nailed to the risers projecting into its center.

A wall comprising:
- a first block including, a pair of outer members comprising boards, spaced apart by at least two risers spaced inward from respective outer member ends forming a void center between the outer members and the at least two risers,
- wherein the risers are coupled to the outer members by nails,
- wherein, the first block is open at its top and bottom with the at least two risers having vertical surfaces extending above the outer members, the outer members having vertical flat inner surfaces in face to face contact with the vertical riser surfaces that extend with the at least two risers extending above the outer members,
- a similar second block slidably receiving the at least two risers of the first block in face to face contact with inner surfaces of the second block as the at least two risers extend into a center of the second block and,
- a recess in the pair of outer members of the first block,
- an anchor plate recessed into the pair of outer members of the first block such that the first block can be anchored to a foundation.
