Dang. Was the owner an HVAC guy by chance?

Some don't care how much it costs, just as long as they know it's the "best".
Like the guy in this county who built an 8,000 SF garage with a ceiling fan whose blades were 22' long.

Actually it's beautiful. A boiler room piped like that ranks right up there with things that are pleasing to the eye. The sizing of the boiler is another matter however.

With that size boiler, in your area, I'd think it might be partly for snowmelt.
Was there a glycol tank anywhere?

I can't even get all the stuff into one shot on this house. This particular house was not my inspection, but my bud is project manager. $30 million, on the lake, 27,000sf.
The "energy efficient geothermal system" came in around $4mil. $4 million to save energy. For a single family residence.
Folks are nuts.

This was for snowmelt on the guesthouse. All this for a single patio and a sidewalk.
Folks are definitely nuts.

I see BigAssFans makes ceiling fans up to 24' in diameter, but I'm fairly sure that 22' long blades would be something else.
