attaches to it....easy on-easy off....

Well windows and doors seemed to slow me up most. Though the room may have a duel use, I tried to find a way to store things like chemicals separately so I could make those up ahead of needing them if I knew I was going into the darkroom soon.
Now I have a window in my darkroom/laundry room which the wife wants open. The darkroom sink is more or less there, but it could be removed fairly easily. I am building an internal shutter that will just close over the window and bingo, no light (at least I hope. More importantly the wife is happy and you know what Foxworthy says. IF she ain't happy, you ain't happy.
Organization (which for me wasn't easy) was the only way to speed the process up. When you KNOW right where everything is and do it the same way every time you get quicker. Looking for things in the process for me was the biggest time waster.

In the 1970's I saw at the local camera store an
inflatable darkroom.
Like a tent, but light-proof and, instead of poles, it  had
inflatable
columns. I live in an very old (antebellum) house, so
finding a
light-tight room is impossible unless I board up some
windows. I wish
they still had those things.

   Hi,

   For those of you who do not have dedicated

darkrooms, how long does it take you to covert your room
into a darkroom ?


   It seems to take me more then an hour to go from

room to darkroom that is ready to print.. Which is to say,
light tight, chemicals mixed. Etc


    Take down takes almost the same when I factor in

the time it takes to empty the print washer..


   Just seems really long.
