One of the biggest projects we did this summer was the Pinecrest Apartments in Meredith NH. The housing units are considered low cost housing made for those who aren't doing so well in todays market. With PAREI (Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative) I helped install two collectors (30 tubes) on three of the four buildings. The project itself was interesting and a challenge at points when we had to bring the collector supply and return through walls above the apartment shared laundry room ceiling to through the wall into someones apartment then up to the roof, all balancing on joists that you could barely see in a blown in cellulose insulation "cold roof" attic. Check out the photos below to see how it went:

Balancing on the Joists you couldn't see because they were covered in cellulose is tricky if you don't want to fall into someones apartment haha.
