Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #573
Question
If your contractor told you that he had to install "Gringo Blocks" at each opening, what type of construction would you be involved with? What would the blocks be made of?
Answer
Adobe construction. "Gringo Blocks" are wood nailing anchors laid up with the wall where door and window jambs may require attachment.
