I guess that was the point I was trying to make. Is the problem the size of the home or the very specific hazard we are trying to protect? We haven't done any homes that large, but we've done 15k s.f. houses with attached greenhouses, indoor swimming pools, and one with indoor basketball court (1/2 court only). I am less concerned about the actual size of the house - more concerned about the proper application of the system for the hazard.
