The face support bracket preferably includes an L-building mount member, an L-lengthwise support member and an L-vertical member. The lower mounting hanger includes a lower building mount member, and a lower hook portion. The Z-bracket preferably includes a top member, an angled member, and a bottom member. An alignment bar is used to suspend the lower mounting hanger from the building, so the lower mounting hanger may be fastened to the building.
