Rule and Regulation of the Week

  • Parking Permits for projects and materials
  • Check the WIKI for complete overview and rules.
  • A quick summary:
    • 24-hour Parking Permits
    • Any Member can place a (usually green) parking permit on their project for up to 24 hours.
    • A parking permit (that is not signed by a Board Member or an Area Champion of the area involved) is valid for a maximum of 24 hours.
    • Parking permits are intended for things like gluing, paint drying or other short-term, critical project states. They are not for items that could reasonably be stored off-site.
  • 25 hour to 2-week Parking Permits
  • An extended parking permit can be authorized by either a Board Member or an Area Champion of the area involved.
  • Extended parking permits are intended for larger short-term projects.
  • Extended parking permits are valid for a maximum of two weeks.
  • It is the Member's responsibility to locate their project in an out-of-the-way area and consult with an Area Champion of the space involved so as to not interfere with other people and their projects.
  • Long Materials Storage
  • Any member can place materials in the long materials storage area with a Parking permit.
  • Securely fasten your permit to your materials. Materials without a permit may be confused with material that is available for general use.
  • Parking permits in long materials storage are valid for up to 2 weeks with an Area Champion's or Board Member's signature

We understand some people need space for a long term project. See Dan Jonke about renting space. This is one of the reasons we expanded to the Norwich building……WE NEEDED MORE SPACE!
