An apparatus and method for sprinkler mounting, the apparatus comprises a housing and a coupler, for coupling the sprinkler to the housing. The housing defines an interior chamber, a lower opening, and a receiver. The housing comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a front wall, a back wall and a roof. The chamber can receive a first support end via the lower opening to mount the housing relative to a support. The housing thus mounted can be secured to the support via a fastener. Alternatively, the fastener can mount and secure the housing relative to the support with the housing's exterior contacting the support. The receiver, for receiving the fastener, comprises one or more of: an upwardly facing aperture in the roof; a front notch in the front wall; a back notch in the back wall; first aperture in the first sidewall; and second aperture in the second sidewall.

The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the interior chamber can receive a first support end of the support via the lower opening, so that the first support end can engage the interior of the housing to thereby support the housing on the support. 4. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing can be secured to the support by the fastener when the fastener is received by the receiver. 5. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises an upwardly facing aperture formed by the roof. 6. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the roof comprises a first shelf formed by the first sidewall and a second shelf formed by the second sidewall. 7. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing is adapted to be mounted on the support and the support comprises a 2×4 piece of lumber. 8. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coupler is disposed on the housing. 9. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coupler is attached to the exterior of the housing via an extension of the first sidewall and an extension of the second sidewall using an attaching means. 10. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the coupler forms a channel for fluid flow. 11. The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a support leg having: (a) an upper end configured to be inserted into the interior chamber via the lower opening, to engage the interior of the housing and to thereby support the housing on the support leg; and(b) a lower end, configured to be inserted into the foundation. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, further comprising a ground stop on the support leg for abutting the foundation. 13. A method of removably mounting a sprinkler at an elevated position with respect to a foundation, using an apparatus that can be removably mounted relative to a support and that can removably receive a fastener, the method comprising: (a) providing the apparatus comprising: (i) a housing having a front wall, a back wall, a roof, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the housing defining an interior chamber, a lower opening to the interior chamber and a receiver for removably receiving the fastener, the receiver comprising at least one aperture disposed through one or both of the first and second sidewalls wherein the fastener can pass through the at least one aperture and fasten the apparatus to the support, the receiver further comprising one or both of a front notch formed by the front wall and a back notch formed by the back wall, each of the front and back notches extending into both of the first and second sidewalls; and(ii) a coupler for removably coupling the sprinkler to the housing, wherein the coupler is attached to the exterior of the housing via one or both of an extension of the first sidewall and an extension of the second sidewall using an attaching means;(b) removably coupling the sprinkler to the housing via the coupler; and(c) removably mounting the housing relative to said support by inserting the first end of the support into the interior chamber via the lower opening and engaging the first end of the support against the interior of the housing. 14. A method of removably mounting a sprinkler at an elevated position with respect to a foundation, using an apparatus that can be removably mounted relative to a support and that can removably receive a fastener, the method comprising: (a) providing an apparatus comprising: (i) a housing having a front wall, a back wall, a roof, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the housing defining an interior chamber, a lower opening to the interior chamber and a receiver for removably receiving the fastener, the receiver comprising at least one aperture disposed through one or both of the first and second sidewalls wherein the fastener can pass through the at least one aperture and fasten the apparatus to the support, the receiver further comprising one or both of a front notch formed by the front wall and a back notch formed by the back wall, each of the front and back notches extending into both of the first and second sidewalls; and(ii) a coupler for removably coupling the sprinkler to the housing;(b) removably coupling the sprinkler to the housing via the coupler; and(c) removably mounting the housing relative to said support. 15. The method as set forth in claim 13 further comprising removably securing the housing to the support using the fastener by inserting the fastener in the receiver. 16. The method as set forth in claim 14 further comprising removably securing the housing to the support using the fastener by inserting the fastener in the receiver. 17. An apparatus for removably mounting a sprinkler at an elevated position with respect to a foundation, the apparatus can be removably mounted relative to a support and can removably receive a fastener, the apparatus comprising: (a) a housing having a front wall a back wall, a roof, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the housing defining an interior chamber, a lower opening to the interior chamber and a receiver for removably receiving the fastener, the receiver comprising at least one aperture disposed through one or both of the first and second sidewalls wherein the fastener can pass through the at least one aperture and fasten the apparatus to the support, the receiver further comprising one or both of a front notch formed by the front wall and a back notch formed by the back wall, each of the front and back notches extending into both of the first and second sidewalls; and(b) a coupler for removably coupling the sprinkler to the housing, wherein the coupler is attached to the exterior of the housing via one or both of an extension of the first sidewall and an extension of the second sidewall using an attaching means. 18.
