Abstract
A bracket for aiding in the mounting of a course of wallboards onto a frame of vertical studs including a channel having a short leg joined to a long panel and a punched out nailer extending from the long panel. First, the pointed free end of the nailer is driven into a stud permitting the user to check alignment of a row of the brackets before permanently securing each bracket to its respective stud by driving nails through apertures in the bracket into the stud. The board is then supported in the bracket against the stud and nailed to the stud. The bracket has a line of perforations that permits snapping the exposed part of the bracket from the stud.
