Trim take-off: shoe moulding and scarf joints now on the framing page

The free wall framing take-off page now counts shoe moulding along the baseboard and lets you type a scarf overlap, so long trim runs are bought honestly.

The free wall framing take-off could already pack baseboard and door and window casing into stock boards. Two options lived only in the command line: shoe moulding, and a scarf overlap for runs longer than a board. Both are now fields on the page under Interior trim.

Shoe moulding follows the baseboard runs in its own stock length and price. A scarf overlap of, say, 1.5 in makes every splice use that much extra board instead of assuming a butt joint. Everything runs in your browser and lengths and prices are the figures you type.

It is checked by a test of the page's wiring and by the engine's hand-arithmetic tests, not against a real trim order yet.
