1. A kit for forming a wall comprising:
a first plurality of substantially cuboid shaped building blocks each having a continuous solid uniform height exterior vertical surface adapted to be closely stacked with a second plurality of corresponding adjacent blocks, said first plurality of building blocks each having a pair of parallel spaced apart bores extending therethrough between top and bottom surfaces thereof, wherein each bore of said pair of bores is spaced equidistance from each of an end surface and opposed side surfaces of one of said first plurality of building blocks and are spaced and located apart by a distance equal to a width of one of said first plurality of building blocks, a plurality of connecting ties, each connecting tie extending between first and second ends, each said connecting tie having spaced apart enlarged portions comprising solid unitary cylindrical members having a continuous profile extending therealong at each end thereof with an elongate member extending between said cylindrical members having a height substantially less than said first plurality of building blocks, wherein said cylindrical members are sized to be frictionally received within said bores with an interference fit so as to span and retain a pair of said second plurality of adjacent building blocks together, and wherein each building block of said first plurality of building blocks includes a channel extending between said bores of the same building block, said channel being sized and shaped to receive said elongate member of said connecting tie therein when said cylindrical members are located in said bores. |
