Well, thanks for the advice (and jokes), unfortunately the plan has been nixed for right now. We got a closer look at the den today and realized that what my friend was hoping to do wasn't really going to work. The opening was to large, so we'd likely just waste the tannerite instead of getting rid of the den.
I think our plan now is to practice our sniping skills and take out the residents first, then deal with the home afterward.
