 '''- How does it work with storage of projects and the like between visits to the space?'''
-All members with an active lab membership may store a so-called "lab bin" ("labblåda") on the shelves in the corridor. '''It's only allowed to keep one box on the top shelf in the corridor. You may not store anything on top of boxes on the top shelf.'''

+There is limited storage for larger projects in our storage room. There are a few shelves there which are available for members to use for larger projects for a shorter duration.

 '''- Can I get help with X for my project?'''
-There is no one at the space just to help you, but if you talk to other lab members at the space or ask a question in our [[Slack]] there may well be another member who can help you get started so you can do it yourself.
+The makerspace has no staff, it's completely member driven. This means that the best way to get help is to just ask other members. If you are unsure about how to use a machine, ask someone at the space if they might be able to show you. You can also ask questions on any topic in our [[Slack]] or in our facebook group. More often than not, lots of different members will chime in with ideas and help.
+This, of course, goes both ways. So if you see someone at the space who looks a bit lost, they would probably appreciate a helping hand from you.
