 ====== The Standing Rules ======
+The Bodgery is a shared workspace and educational environment with many active users. Bodgery members volunteer considerable time for the benefit of all members. Every change to the space has an impact on others. Your behavior has a direct influence on people around you, and an indirect effect on the many other people who use the shop and keep The Bodgery useful, kind, and fun.
-These are the policies that we operate under. Guests must follow by these guidelines, even if they are unknown - they will be made aware of any mistakes, and if they refuse to abide by them they will be asked to leave. Members agree to follow these rules at all times upon signing the Membership Form.  These policies may be modified by the Board at any point through due process.

+It is the responsibility of the members to come to amicable agreements of disputes over tools, space or other shop resources.
+Leave things better than when you arrived. If you make dust/chips/liquid/etc messes, it’s your responsibility to clean them up. If you change the settings on a tool/machine, return them to the original settings. If you pulled out hand tools to use, return them. If you break or damage something, let the Area Captain know.
+This is a shared space, not your personal workshop. When you leave, take anything of yours with you - don’t leave your projects, tools, or materials anywhere outside of your shelf or an official “project parking area” with a permit attached.
+Talk to the Area Captain before using their respective area, even if you aren’t using Bodgery tools. Some areas require an area checkoff.
+No sleeping / living in the space. Naps are okay.
-Members must be at least 16 years of age. Members under 18 years of age must have parent/guardian consent.
+Use of aerosols (spray painting or any other spray finish) indoors is NOT permitted under any circumstances. Spray painting may be done outdoors (away from exits, vents and exhausts) with appropriate precautions to cover the ground with paper or tarp. Any over spray is expected to be cleaned by the member and is subject to disciplinary action if left uncleaned.
