Heretofore in dry wall construction systems, it has been the normal practice for a carpenter to secure or fasten the dry wall to the channel or standard framing members utilizing sheet metal screws and to thereafter have a mason secure the inner end of wall-ties to the previously secured dry wall and framing member assembly. It will therefore be apparent that there are two fastening operations required by two different trades to accomplish the preliminary securements prior to the construction of the outer wythe. This method is time consuming and thus more costly than one wherein a singular fastening operation can be utilized and performed.
