This area is for the exterior. If you want the total for both exterior and interior, you will need to double this amount. To calculate the total interior amount, you will also need to add for the ceiling and individual interior wall areas and other surfaces.

Windows & Doors? These areas could be deducted and then added in for corners, eaves, and other areas, or just assume that this will take care of these areas. If you have wider and longer eaves then normal, you will need to add in or round up the amount of stain needed.
