Hi !
I'm looking at everything you've to say about construction and first use
because this spring I will have my own piece to turn to a darkroom !
It will be in the basement, build in concrete and for now, my main
concern is how to cope with dust... and cold wet air.
I'll will be delighted to move from the second bathroom I use now
(enlarger above the toilet bowl, washing tray in the shower, and a set
of trays on the washing basin. As the walls are covered with varnished
tiles, I am forced to cover them with black sheet s of plastic to reduce
flare during enlargement....)
Enjoy your new room !
