Fill in the appropriate boxes for each area you
measure. Give each area a recognizable name so it makes sense when you look at
it 3 days from now.

You may find it useful to make rough freehand sketches of measured areas for later reference,
like this:
This
rough sketch will allow future comparison of worksheet notes with actual areas measured. The
reference numbers (ie 1 through 4) can be placed in any area of the worksheet. The numbers
on the worksheet do not have to be in order, they just need to refer accurately to the areas
noted in your sketches.
Note that the circles around numbers 1 & 4 overlap both the rectangular lower portion and the triangular
gable, to indicate the entire area, rather than separate them into separate rectangles and triangles.
There's no need to make yourself crazy trying to measure every tiny variation. Gross numbers are fine,
provided that if you err, it is on the heavy side.
We suggest you not deduct for average windows and doors. They should be removed from your calculations
only if they are unusually large and numerous.
