3. In Wall construction the combination of ajamb and buck of generally channel shape provided with a continuous plaster finish flange projecting laterally from a side flange of thechannel, a masonry element having an end portion of reduced thickness with the channel fitting over the said reduced portion thereby leaving an open space between the plaster finish member and the edge formed by the reduction in thickness of the masonry element, andv plaster in said space.
