I am planning a porch roof cover & got a sketch from a friend.

what's the easiest way(make that cheap) to estimate lumber needed
for this project ?
Is there software to do this, where I would feed in the dimensions
and the software would break down the lumber sizes/ammounts needed ?

Thanks,
Smitty

Do it like they did in the old days, before computers. Scale the drawing,
measure each piece, and add it up!
