I have a two-car garage, three large bedrooms, big kitchen, big
living room, converted den on garage level, two bathrooms. City
assessment shows 1865 sq. ft. but I don't know if that includes the
den and garage or just "livable space". . . .


I think that is what is throwing you off. You are looking at the
"city assessment" which shows 1865 sq. ft. That doesn't tell you the
dimensions of your roof (which is over your porch, garage, overhang,
etc). So, forget the 1865 sq. ft. and just use your actual roof
dimensions to figure out the number of squares.



I got out a tape measure and ran it across the ground. Without someone
holding the end it came out to around 78' x 38'


78 x 38 is 2964 sq. ft. Using the roofing calculator and a 6/12 slope
it gives 37 squares.
