  While working for Martin Clark, owner of True Value, Martin's Hardware in Bristol and Middlebury, began to talk to him about my geodesic dome project. He asked me what materials I was going to use and when I told him that I had just decided to use lumber, he convinced me that I would get no better price than if I bought it through him. He is doing me a huge favor by giving me discounted prices on the lumber I want. This was a classic example how using the competencies that guide our independent learning, can pay off in the end and help you in your projects. I was working for, and helping Martin, and in return and out of kindness, he agreed to help me with my tight budget for materials. We have been exchanging emails, design plans, price estimates, sale estimates, and material ideas and Martin has been more than helpful. I suggested a meeting and he said during one of my work blocks, I could swing by the store anytime and sit down with him and talk about these issues face to face. He has been extremely helpful and I think without him and the deals he is giving me on wood, I would not be able to buy the polycarbonate sheets I wanted, holding my greenhouse from reaching it's potential. Many people I have talked to throughout my project have given me great advice, or ideas, but Martin was the first person to give me concrete help; actual deals on materials that are vital to my project, keeping my budget in mind. I will be ordering my lumber through Martin, and I will be able to order the Premium Lumber because of the deals I got on it. This was a great resource to discover.
