Good to know
Can I do just the lower half of the wall?
Yes. Set Upper boxes to No and the planner does one row of boxes under the chair rail, with its own cut and shopping lists.
What if a box lands on an outlet?
Change the number of boxes by one or adjust the gap, and every mark updates. The guide also shows how to use an outlet box extender when molding has to pass one.
What molding do I buy?
Panel molding about 11/16 in thick and 1 5/8 in wide is the classic pick. Primed MDF paints smooth and costs less. The planner takes any width.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you get a download link on the thank-you page and by email. It's a zip with the PDF guide and the planner spreadsheet.
Will it open on my phone?
Yes. The PDF opens anywhere. The planner works in Excel or the free Google Sheets app. Bigger screens are easier for building.
Can I get a refund?
Because it's an instant download, sales are final. If a file won't open or you're stuck on a step, text 346-696-9804 and we'll make it right.
