Problem: We have been having more and more new members take inordinate lengths of time working on vehicles in the auto bays. They often claim ignorance of posted rules. They often don’t have any idea how long a project will take before starting it.
Solution: You must be a member for at least 45 days, AND have attended at least one Automotive Committee Meeting, before starting any major project in automotive that may take more than 4 hours to complete.
This is now a new rule in Automotive and will be posted soon. It is being presented here so that it will be adequately documented and can be discussed.
Relevance: Blocking an automotive bay for multiple days prevents other members from being able to do work and is unfair to other members.
