Can you explain where exactly i might be out of my depth?
Yep... how about with this:

Does anyone know of a RF matrix IR solution that could
cover a whole house?
Or maybe the fact that you don't of the many, many ways to:

get the IR signals back to the source equipment
in RF and then get it converted back to IR at that point
Off the top of my head both RTi (best) and URC (easiest for you) make solutions for your concerns above. I suggest you surf their respective web sites and compare your options. Others have already eluded to this, and it doesn't seem that anyone is trying to "one up" you.
As far as being beyond your depth... I've never installed anything for anyone other than myself, and I knew the potential answers to your problems. With that being the case, if I were you, rather than being confrontational, I'd except any and all advise, and be happy you're not being thrown off your desk chair by the flames that could be blowing out of your monitor. Especially seeing as you're posting on a "pro" forum.
Best of Luck...
Edit:
Here is the URC piece that could help:

[Link: rticorp.com]Keep in mind the above are just the quick things that popped into my head, and you would have to mate them with the appropriate remote option. There may be better solutions for your situation. But both pieces have RS-232 abilities for your matrix switch and IR for your other components if they are not RS-232 compatible. To be clear...I'm not a pro, but felt I could offer something helpful to your prob.
