• providing the first wall angle with a wall mounting portion and a main runner support portion and providing the main runner support portion with a main runner folded portion that extends to a main runner end and wherein the main runner folded portion defines a main runner slot;
• providing a string dispensing assembly having a housing having a first housing end that defines a first housing opening, and having an opposed second housing end that defines a second housing opening and wherein the first and second housing openings lead to a housing interior, and the housing has opposed interior and exterior housing surfaces and disposing a string supply in the housing and wherein a string is capable of being drawn from the string supply;
• providing the housing with a first support member that extends outwardly from the exterior housing surface along a first bent portion, and providing the first support member with opposed convex and concave surfaces that extend to a first engagement tab and folding the first engagement tab in such a way that the first engagement tab faces the concave surface of the first support member, and defining a first engagement slot with the first engagement tab and the concave surface of the first support member that faces thereto;
• fitting the first engagement tab in the main runner slot such that the first engagement tab is hooked to the first wall angle such that the housing is supported by the first wall angle.
