Thanks Ron, Tom and Steve. I read it the same way however, more to Tom's point 
I recommend installing a sprinkler in the space. But, if your building 450 
units that's 450 heads over the long haul.  The builder questions the need and 
the more I think about it the harder it is to make the case for the head. 
Access to the space requires the removal of a dozen or so screws so the first 
time they access the space you need a real desire. I envision one or none of 
the screws going back in. . . which would make the space a great place to store 
who knows what.

Have a great Holiday everyone!
