Update on Elliot's

Most of the tools on the list from Elliot's in Dallas (in the previous post) are not usually available at the store in Mesquite. If you wish to purchase any of those supplies, there are two options:
  1. You can go to the store in Dallas and purchase the items. You might want to do this, just because the store in Dallas is fun and has lots of stuff. Be sure to take your supply list and a copy of the order numbers. Also, call ahead and make sure they aren't sold out of what you want.
  2. You can take the list of order numbers to the store in Mesquite and they can transfer the items to their store. Then, you can pick the items up in a few days, assuming they are in stock at the Dallas store.

Have fun shopping! Remember, you need to have your tools with you in class on Tuesday. Contact me, if you have any questions.
