Roofing Estimates

Problem

Roofing numbers are off in MacNail construction estimating software

Diagnosis

In dimensions, the roof area (roofArea) is measured in SQUARES (100 sq. ft each). A normal roof will be 1-15 squares or so. If roofArea is different from what they expect it to be, that's the problem.

Solution

User may be confusing squares w/ sq. ft. We use sq ft for roof framing area, and squares for most roofing materials.
