 If a member has a personal project that won't fit in their storage area, but is difficult to transport back and forth from home, they may ask the Board for a "Parking Permit".  If approved, they can store their project in a public area (ideally in a corner of the floor space, not on public tables or workbenches) for up to 14 days.
 The stored project should have a completed "Parking Permit" attached visibly to it.  This indicates who owns the project, their contact phone/email, and the date the permit expires.  When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either apply for a new one or immediately remove the property from The Bodgery.
