Box Storage Guidelines
Each member is entitled to a box; your box must be clearly labelled with your full name or a unique nickname.
Things you SHOULD NOT store in your box
Dangerous / Flammable Chemicals. These can be stored with Committee permission under the sink, in sensible and labelled containers, for no longer than needed.
Lithium batteries need to be in a safe charging-bag; Lithium charging bags are cheap; http://bit.ly/1H9qTq9 - See also, Rule Zero.
Perishable food - this can be stored in the kitchen, ideally with a label including your name and date left.
Large Projects
If you’re taking up a lot of space with a project, you should ask someone from the Committee for permission to store the item. Oversized items need to be clearly labelled with your name, and there is an assumption that they are being worked on. We don't want to have a Space full of abandoned projects!
