Broken/breaking things

• The table saw dust collector gets in the way when the blade is angled and keeps falling apart.
  • Angled blade cutting pulls more on the flex line, and some pinching occurs
  • No drilling into the trusses or ceiling. 
  • Can get more flex line if needed
  • Better holder, consider fabric
  • Alex is contact person for call to action. 
• What is our policy or process?
  • Reporting on broken things needed…
  • Make better documentation of Ace Repair Policy
    • Easter egg the repair policy
