          Application No. 09/391,294                                                    
               1.  A support and insulating member for a corner post made of            
               thin sheet material and used to enclose one corner of an                 
               external wall of a building, the corner post being spaced                
               from the external wall to define a longitudinally extending              
               hollow space therebetween, said support and insulating member            
               comprising:                                                              
                    a single member having first and second longitudinally              
               extending portions, the first portion lying in a first plane             
               angularly disposed with respect to the second portion lying              
               in a second plane, wherein said first and second                         
               longitudinally extending portions have lengths adapted for               
               corresponding to the length of the corner of the building and            
               wherein said single member defines a cornered inner surface              
               adapted for contacting the building and a spaced apart                   
               cornered outer surface parallel to said cornered inner                   
               surface adapted for contacting the corner post;                          
                    a first support member flange lying in the first plane              
               and extending outwardly from said first portion a                        
               predetermined distance and extending continuously along the              
               entire length of said first portion and from said cornered               
               inner surface radially outwardly; and                                    
                    a second support member flange lying in the second plane            
               and extending outwardly from said second portion a                       
               predetermined distance and extending continuously along the              
               entire length of said second portion and from said cornered              
               inner surface radially outwardly.                                        
               5.  An insulating support comprising:                                    
                    a single support member having first and second portions            
               angularly disposed from each other, said first and second                
               portions defining a cornered inner surface and a cornered                
               outer surface parallel to said cornered inner surface, said              
               single support member having first and second support flanges            
               extending outwardly from the first and second portions of the            
               single support member respectively, said first and second                
               flanges extending continuously along the entire length of the            
               first and second portions.                                               


                                           2
