Building block

A building block comprising:

• outer and inner walls of which at least said inner wall is made of hard moldable material such as concrete, said inner wall comprising an outer side;
• at least one elongated tie member for interconnecting said walls with a space separating the outer wall from the inner wall, said tie member having a first end fixedly secured to the outer wall and a second end fixedly secured to the inner wall;
• and
• a body made of material through which nails and/or screws can be driven, said body being fastened to said second end of the tie member and being embedded in the said material of the inner wall with a surface thereof exposed on said outer side to enable nailing and/or screwing though the said body;
• wherein said body comprises two opposite surfaces formed with first and second holes, respectively, and wherein the said second end of the elongated tie member is forked to define first and second branches embracing a portion of the body and having respective free ends bent to penetrate said first and second holes, respectively.
