Planning Toolkit
DIGIT
Take a picture of your list, wherever you wrote it: a 2 × 6, plywood, cardboard, the back of a drawing. DIGIT turns a list into a spreadsheet, a page of writing into a Word document you can edit, and the lumber on it into an order at Sierra's yard.
- Print a yard sheetChoose one below, or use any paper, plywood or 2 × 6.
- Write your countsA number in each box, or lines like “2x4x8 cedar 6”.
- Take a photoScan the sheet’s QR code to open DIGIT on your phone, then photograph the list.
- Send it to your cartCheck the counts, add them to Sierra’s cart and request your estimate.

Make it into
DIGIT decides: a list becomes a spreadsheet, writing becomes a Word document.
Lay it flat in good light and fill the frame with the list. You can also drop a file here or paste a screenshot.

How it reads
- Every line becomes a row. Check the table before you download it: handwriting is read, not guaranteed, and every cell can be corrected.
- Writing, a note, a letter, minutes, comes out as a Word document: headings, paragraphs and bullet points you can edit here or in Word, with your photo at the back to check it against. Choose Word above the camera, or leave it on Auto.
- Lumber is matched to what Sierra's yard stocks: pine, Douglas fir and incense cedar, 1x to 14x14, 8 to 20 feet, rough sawn unless smooth or hand-hewn is written. Anything else is listed as not added, with the reason.
- Your picture is sent to be read and is not kept. Nothing is ordered until you send the request from your cart.
