Yes, I wondered how you would vent a dark room in the basement. I’d be
interested to hear about that.

Congratulations. I have dreamed of a permanent darkroom most of my life
but wound up with darkrooms which had to do double duty as something else.
Remember to pay attention to ventilation. Not difficult if done while
constucting but a PITA if it has to be fixed up later.

I've spent the last 3 years without a darkroom, and am finally getting close
to being in the dark again.
We bought a new (to us) home, and I am building a darkroom in the basement.
I have a space which is 18' long, 7' wide - so far I have built the walls,
and am in the process of finishing the drywalling. If all goes well, I
will be able to start developing film in December.
The wet side has two sinks - one is 9' long and will be used for print
developing - it is wood and fiberglass. The other is 5' long, stainless,
and I use it for washing and mixing chemicals - I also have a cabinet which
I built to hold my Jobo processor, which drains into the stainless sink.
The Dry side will have work space, and room for a couple of enlargers.
Outside the darkroom itself, I have a bench which has print drying screens,
a dry mount press and storage for negatives.
Once I get close to done, I'll post pictures.
