Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
I request permission to fix a state room’s clothes hanging area. One of the screws has come out of the wall and the threads in the wall from the screw are no good. The repair will involve making 2 new holes, ~1 inch to the side of each existing hole. The wall can be spackled if requested by mission support (dependent on if there is any spackle in the RAM’s inventory).
