Storage Policies
All Storage is At Own Risk
We do not secure storage, it is open to members, guests and building staff. Someone could take your stuff, it could have something spilled on it, really anything can happen (but usually does not), just don't leave anything precious. All storage is entirely at your own risk. MakeHaven is not responsible for anything missing or broken.
Unlabeled Projects
To keep our space tidy and usable for all members, any unlabeled projects may be immediately disposed of or moved to scrap.
Area-Specific Drying Tables
When a project can not be transported because it is drying, it can be left in the designated area (designated tables/sheves in the wood shop, pottery, and casting areas ). Any project in short term storage must have a name and date label. Any project left more than area's designated max time, unlabeled, or in the way is in violation of the policy. Projects in violation of the policy can be fined, moved to paid storage or scrap, and/or moved to trash. Property will be disposed of disposal at staff & facilitator discretion and may incur additional disposal fees. Projects may be restrickered while in progress for a maximum of 10 days. If at any point space is needed, staff may require the member to move their project into paid storage or to remove from the space.
Leaving Projects in the Common Areas
If absolutely necessary for glue or resin drying, staff and facilitators can grant permission leave property for up 24 hours in the public space by issuing a parking pass. The parking pass is a physical paper that is affixed to your property and the every effort must be made to minimize the obstruction of the work of others.
Materials or projects left in unapproved areas without a valid parking pass, disposed of disposal at staff discretion and may incur additional disposal fees.
Paid Storage
Paid storage is made available to members as space is available. Unauthorized/unpaid material storage or property spilling over outside of paid storage may be disposed of or fined up to 3x the cost of floor space. Ending membership ends ends all storage privileges. All property must be removed at time of membership end and may incur fees of 3x the monthly storage if it it must be removed or disposed of by staff (additional fees will apply for large items or items weighing over 30 pounds).

Unlabeled Projects
To keep our space tidy and usable for all members, any unlabeled projects may be immediately disposed of or moved to scrap.
Area-Specific Drying/Setting Tables
When a project can not be transported because it is drying (eg wood glue, resin, pottery) it can be left in the designated space within the specialized area. A facilitator can direct you to approved drying areas. Any project in short term storage must have a name and date label on it and must be removed by the time limit. Any project exceeding the time limit, unlabeled, or in the way is in violation of the policy. Projects in violation of the policy can be fined, moved to paid storage or scrap, and/or moved to trash. Property will be disposed of disposal at staff discretion and may incur additional disposal fees. If at any point space is needed, staff may require the member to move their project into paid storage or to remove from the space.

If absolutely necessary for glue or resin drying, staff and facilitators can grant permission leave property for up 24 hours in the public space by issuing a parking pass. The parking pass is a physical paper that is affixed to your property and the every effort must be made to minimize the obstruction of the work of others.
Materials or projects left in unapproved areas without a valid parking pass will be disposed of disposal at staff discretion and may incur additional disposal fees.
