You could cut insulation batts into strips and use zip ties to hold it against the Pex pipe. Is the air handler up in the attic or you just running supply across the attic? My air handler in AZ is in the attic. When time to replace it either the ceiling gets cut to remove and replace, or just rebuild the existing unit wear parts which might be the easy way.
Getting there pretty nice. I was thinking of building the slide for the exchanger the same way as you posted.As a thought, have you thought about using quick disconnects on the lines for maintenance? You could secure the lines better and still have access. It is low pressure so the only issue would be flow.
Then I created a ledge on either side with some aluminum angle that is pop riveted to the plenum walls
Surprised JR didn't ask you why your heater looked like it once had 30 gallons of water in it. (I assume the drain plugged up at one time? condensation?)

That’s a lot of water. When are you expecting to fire up the boiler? I built fires in the fireplaces last night, but you have to keep those fed. The idea of the boiler is very tempting, I had looked at them before but now that we are in the new house even more tempting with electric heat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Are going to address that rust before you are done?
I want to see how this works but it would work here just for getting the wood all the time.Seeing the pipe in the attic, will that be supported somehow? A lot of weight there with water in there.
