A component of lightweight structural material to be utilized in the construction of a sturdy wall, the component being elongate and generally in the configuration of a rectangular solid whose height is approximately three to four times its width. The component involves a pair of elongate sidewalls, a pair of end portions, a bottom section, and an upper section. An elongate, trough-like recess is located along the upper section between the elongate sidewalls, and a plurality of elongate, generally vertically disposed apertures are disposed in an essentially parallel relationship below the trough-like recess. The upper end of each of the elongate apertures is directly below the trough-like recess, with the trough-like recess being adapted to receive and contain molten concrete, with some of such concrete being able to flow into and fill the vertically disposed apertures. It is to be noted that the upper end of each of the elongate apertures is initially blocked from contact with the trough-like recess by a relatively minor thickness of lightweight structural material, with such material blocking the contact between the elongate apertures and the trough-like recess being readily removed by a user so that selected ones of the vertically disposed apertures can be filled with concrete.
