How do I get my files?

Right after payment, Etsy makes your files available under You > Purchases and reviews. You can also use the download link in your Etsy confirmation email. Nothing is mailed.

Do I need Google Sheets or Excel?

Either works. Each order includes an Excel (.xlsx) file and a one-page links PDF with a "Make my copy" button that puts your own copy in Google Sheets. The PDFs open in any PDF reader.

Can I fill in the PDFs on my computer?

Yes. The PDFs are fillable, so you can type into them using a free reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can also print them and write by hand.

Can I print the planners?

Yes. The pages are sized for standard US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 in) and print well at home or at a local print shop. Print as many copies as you need for your own household.

Can I return or exchange a digital file?

Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final and returns or exchanges aren't possible. If a file won't open or something looks wrong, message me and I'll help you get it working.

Is this professional advice for my home?

No. The planners are general education tools to help you organize your project and your questions. For decisions about your specific home, talk with a qualified local professional.
