Complications :(



Today, our group ran into a complication. In our detailed design, we explained that we would be purchasing two sign displays like the one in the picture above from Walmart for $22. When we looked at the sign description again, its dimensions read "10.5 X 25". This was definitely going to be too small to display the signs we were planning on making (that explains why it was so cheap!) So Mr. Blake suggested that we do a little more research and we found a larger sign display with the dimensions of 24 in. wide X 36 in. high. This sign was much larger but was priced at $80.75. Due to our budget of $100, we decided to deduce our project coverage area to just Konia Field instead of both Konia and Paki Lawn. This was able to solve the cost problem. Then Mr. Blake and I came across the fine print displayed above, "This item cannot be shipped to the following state(s): AK, HI". Great. Just Great. On top of that, the item is also listed as "online exclusive". Now we are not sure if we can even purchase this sign. Because of all the complications with ordering online, I plan to go to Home Depots tomorrow night with my dad and see if they have any of these displays in stock. If not, our team may just have to build our own display. Uhh Ohh :(
