While the collar defines the form factor of the barrier, the slidable rods can be adjusted in their relative positions along the form factor to provide for a barrier that conforms to the contours of the application surface. The barrier may include means to attach the apparatus to the decking and caps to seal the apparatus during construction activities. The rods are interconnected one to another so that the rods can be connected into a continuous barrier. The rods are able to slide relative to each other along the interlocking structure. When the device is set into position, rods may be slid into a barrier structure that conforms to both planar and non-planar surfaces of the application surface. As such, the method provides for an effective barrier for further construction processes, e.g. pouring a cement floor while keeping cement from flowing into the desired channel or penetration. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for constructing feed through hole barrier comprising: securing a collar to a construction deck; inserting a plurality of rods inside said collar; wherein said plurality of rods form a continuous surface; and sliding said rods until rods are seated against said deck. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein said collar is secured to said construction deck with hold-down clips. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein said rods are secured to said construction deck with hold-down clips. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising removing the portion of said rods that are protruding above the desired barrier height. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4 further comprising installing a cap over said rods. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising locating proper location of said sleeve. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6 wherein locating proper location of said sleeve utilizes determining the center of said sleeve placement by measuring off of grid lines. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising installing weather sealing tape between said collar. ### Claim 9 A method for constructing feed through holes in building fabrication comprising: a collar; a plurality of rods; securing said collar to a construction deck; inserting said rods into said collar to form a continuous barrier; wherein said collar provides a guide for the shape of said barrier; and sliding said rods until rods are seated against said deck. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 wherein said rods are slidably connected one to another. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein: said collar further comprises a locking structure; wherein said locking structure inhibits motion of said rods in one direction. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11 wherein: said rods have teeth along the rod that interconnect with said locking structure wherein said teeth serve as a directional one-way lock of the position of said rods with said collar. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 further comprising: a first hold down clip; anchoring said collar to said deck using said hold down clip. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 wherein: said rods have a principal axis; said rods have a key stone shape along their axis; said rods have a grove shape matching said key stone shape; wherein said key stone shape in one rod interlocks with said matching grove in another rod. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 further comprising removing the portion of said rods that are protruding above the desired barrier height. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 further comprising: a cap; and installing said cap to cover the opening created by said rods. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 further comprising locating the proper location on said deck for installation of said sleeve. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17 wherein: locating proper location of said sleeve utilizes determining the center of said sleeve placement by measuring off of grid lines on the construction deck. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 further comprising installing weather sealing tape between said collar and said deck. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13 further comprising: a second hold down clip; further anchoring said collar to said deck using said second hold down clip.
