+    * You must request and receive Board approval prior to leaving any items/projects in the back parking area for more than 24 hours. Board approval can be sought by emailing the Board (<board@thebodgery.org>) or messaging the Slack #ask-the-board channel. Any items/projects left for more than 24 hours without approval or past the expiration of the Board’s approval can be removed at the member’s expense or disposed of by a Board member.
+    * Any member working in the back area (or any area of the Bodgery) is required to clean up their mess. If painting, staining, or doing any type of work that will leave a stain on the pavement, please put something down on the ground to prevent stains. The dumpster often has boxes that can be used or you can use brown paper from the clean room for this. If you accidentally or purposely leave a stain please clean it up immediately. If you are not able to clean it up immediately, please notify the Board to discuss clean up.
 **6.2  Member Storage**
-Each member is entitled to one “plot” in member storage, which is a defined, limited space for keeping his or her private property.
+Each member is entitled to one “plot” in member storage, which is a defined, limited space for keeping his or her private property, typically an allotment of member shelving. Each member must label their plot with their name and telephone number in case they need to be contacted for some reason.
-Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exception is for approved oversized property.
+Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exceptions are for property tagged with a Parking Permit (see 6.3) or in the back parking area (see 6.1).
-Member property that is not stored safely or does not fit in the member’s plot is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 5.2.2).
+Member property that is not stored safely, not properly labeled or not in an appropriate area is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 5.2).
 **6.3  Parking Permits**
-Once the Board of Directors approves a piece of property for storage outside “Member Storage” at The Bodgery, the member owning the property must attach to it a completed Parking Permit.
+If a member has a personal project that is difficult to transport back and forth from home and won't fit in their member storage plot, they may fill out a “Parking Permit” (found in a holder in the main project parking area). The project can be stored in a designated shared project parking area for up to 14 days with an option for a 14 day extension. This is to allow for paint/glue drying, time required to acquire sustenance, or taking short breaks between working on it. Space at the Bodgery is a valuable and limited resource, so please be considerate of others and do not store items for extended periods of time.
-The Parking Permit must indicate: Who owns the property; where at The Bodgery it is to be stored; the owner’s contact email address and/or phone number; the date when the Parking Permit expires; the date the Board of Directors approved the Parking Permit; and the signature of a Board member.  Parking Permits should not be granted for longer than 30 days.
+The stored item must have a completed “Parking Permit” physically attached to it in a visible location. The parking permit must be filled out with the owner's name, contact phone/email and the date the permit expires. When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either extend the permit by updating the expiration date or immediately remove the property from the Bodgery.
-The oversize property must be stored in its designated spot at The Bodgery with the Parking Permit visibly affixed. When the Parking Permit expires, the member must either apply for a new one or immediately remove the property from The Bodgery.
+Items that have been stored more than 30 days, have expired permits, are not stored safely, not properly labeled or not in an appropriate area are both dangerous and disrespectful and will be considered abandoned (see 5.2).
