coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component by engaging a threaded segment of the component with a cooperative threaded segment of the anchor; depositing concrete within the form to create the concrete support structure, the concrete support structure at least partially enclosing the anchor; removing at least a portion of the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through a cavity in the concrete structure formed by the component. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: securing a component of an anchor apparatus to a board of a form utilized to form a concrete support structure; coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component by engaging a threaded segment of the component with a cooperative threaded segment of the anchor; depositing concrete within the form to create the concrete support structure, the concrete support structure at least partially enclosing the anchor; removing at least a portion of the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through a cavity in the concrete structure formed by the component. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1 including securing a tool to the anchor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2 including wherein securing a tool includes securing the tool to the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1 including removing the component from the anchor. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4 wherein removing the component from the anchor is performed prior to securing a tool to the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1 wherein the cavity is formed during curing of the concrete within the form. ### Claim 7 A method, comprising: securing a component of an anchor apparatus to a board of a form; coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component; depositing concrete within the form to create a concrete support structure with the anchor at least partially embedded within the concrete support structure; removing the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through a cavity in the concrete support structure formed by the component. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7 including coupling a tool to the anchor. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7 wherein the anchor includes a threaded segment and wherein accessing the anchor through a cavity includes accessing the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method according to claim 9 including coupling a tool to the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7 including removing the component from the concrete support structure. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11 wherein removing the component is performed subsequent to removing the board of the form. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7 wherein coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component includes engaging a threaded segment of the component with a corresponding threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 14 A method, comprising: securing a component relative to a board of a form; coupling an anchor of an anchor apparatus relative to the component; depositing concrete in the form to create a concrete support structure wherein the component forms a cavity adjacent the board; removing at least a portion of the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through the cavity. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14 wherein the cavity is formed while the concrete cures in the form. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14 wherein the anchor includes a threaded segment and wherein accessing the anchor through a cavity includes accessing the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16 including coupling a tool to the threaded segment of the anchor. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14 wherein the anchor includes a threaded segment and wherein accessing the anchor through the cavity includes accessing the threaded segment of the anchor.
