         10 . A demountable exterior wall panel attachment comprising:
 a first demountable attachment member, to be received in a compatible attachment receiving element;   a second demountable attachment member, to receive a compatible exterior wall panel; and   a spacer, connecting the first and second attachment member.   
     
     
         11 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A post anchor adjustable along the three dimensional axes comprising:
 a base member to be anchored into a building foundation and having a mounting member thereon, the mounting member being adjustable along a first axis; and   a retaining member having
 a seat, mountable on the mounting member and being adjustable along a second axis, and 
 a crown, to receive a post and being adjustable along a third axis, 
   
       wherein the post anchor is adjustable along the three dimensional axes to correctly align the post anchor to the foundation and level a post attached thereto. 
     
     
         14 - 33 . (canceled) 
     
     
         34 . A kit for a demountable floor anchor system comprising:
 at least two joists, each of the joist comprising at least one bridge element located at a predetermined position along the joist; and   at least one secondary joist comprising at each end a lug to be received in the bridge element,   
       wherein when the secondary joist is inserted into each of the at least two joists, the secondary joist is substantially perpendicular to the at least two joist, and forms a planar surface to receive a flooring surface, and 
       wherein the demountable floor anchor system can be partly or completely demounted and reassembled in a first configuration or a different configuration. 
     
     
         35 - 50 . (canceled) 
     
     
         51 . A kit for a demountable ceiling anchor system comprising:
 at least two joists, each of said joist comprising at least one receiving element located at a predetermined position along the joist for receiving a ceiling furring strip receiving elements; and   at least one ceiling furring strip receiving element adapted to be received at least one furring strip   
       wherein when said furring strip inserted in said ceiling furring strip receiving elements forms a planar surface to receive a ceiling surface, and
