+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 a Board member 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 30 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.

If project is still present past remove date, other members may do with it as they will. This clause is to allow for paint/glue drying, time required to acquire sustenance, or taking short breaks between working on it.
