I have deciphered the clues in your post and have arrived at a conclusion. First, the clues:
Big enough to drive a truck through
Smelled like cocoa butter
Large square aluminum or ss steel tubing assembly with rotating spray fittings situated about every five feet of the tubing spraying out a fine mist
Downwind
Conclusion:
Hillary Rotten Clinton was getting a massage.

While that's true .. you're assuming EVERYBODY does things the legal way.
We had a tenant who took over 4-5 suites within a complex and opened the whole thing up with inside doors - weakening the wall structures and ceilings. We didn't know about it until after he moved out - BECAUSE HE NEVER BOTHERED TO GET ANY PERMITS TO DO THE WORK - probably because he knew the work would never be approved.
After that fiasco, we informed all our tenants they must have a city permit for any changes within the suite - and it must meet our approval first. If they were found to have not complied with that - they would be evicted immediately.

We had a tenant who took over 4-5 suites within a complex and opened the whole thing up with inside doors - weakening the wall structures and ceilings.I would change that to "possibly weakening". A door, properly installed, will support more weight, than the surrounding structure. Most commercial properties are built with light weight steel studs, anywhere from 10-16 ft or more long. They are more cosmetic, than structural. The roof spans are designed to take the interior loads, and distribute it.
I guess yours was wood. Most commercial places have suspended ceilings, as well. They're just hanging around!

Well .. "possibly" won't cut it. We had 3 construction people come out and bid the job and all of them agreed (without knowing what the others had said), that at least 2 of the walls were tetering on brink of collapse and a third was also suspect.
This was an old complex. These people not only put their employees in danger, they left the complex wide open to be sued up the ying-yang for any death or injury which might have resulted from their negligence.

Call the local pro-dem newspaper and tell them you think some big chemical company is screwing around. Mebbe Halliburton, or Schlumberger or one of those republican donor outfits!!!
That'll get their attention.

In the fall on a frosty still night you can smell one from hundreds of yards away.People were smelling it from 10 miles away. I believe.
