Tile saw is packed in the back of the wagon as is the mixer, trowels, etc.
See ya soon ; < ) 

 

Tile is not so hard to do. Big timesaver is pre mixed thin set. It is JUST
the basement not your main living space. It might give you a good chance to
learn enough to be able to redo the kitchen or bathrooms.

That's why I had mentioned that as presently I tone outside the darkroom,
but in the new digs, (such a disaster down there presently!) I'll have to do
that outside the darkroom itself I guess as well.  Was hoping someone had
magic formula (there's always thiourea based sepia Eric) of ventilating that
works.  I plan to take wet prints to a screen dryer outside the darkroom as
that creates too much wind from the fan.

There's already a floor down although a plumber today offered to dig some of
it up to put in a pit (for a possible bathroom) to guarantee against backup.
I may just go up 2 flights to avoid that although now would be the time to
commit to doing it...ack, can't decide!

My darkroom presently was made to be a bedroom, print washing and toning and
drying area was a kitchen. Digital area and print spotting area was a living
room.  It will revert back to those uses after I leave this month and some
considerable rehab is done.

    In reference to toning: If possible do not do it in the darkroom or
where sensitive materials are stored. The gasses emmited by sulfiding toners
are fogging agents and are quite toxic as well as being unpleasant.
    The usual recommendation is to have separat dry and wet rooms but there
may not be room. If possible the darkroom should have a wet and dry side.
    If possible have a laundry type tub as well as a regular darkroom type
sink. The tub is very useful for washing trays, etc, and can also be useful
in other ways. It does not have to be large and can have a removable duck
board over it for more tray or tank space.
    If you use an "archival" type print washer make sure you have a place
for it that will support the weight and allow it to drain when overflowing.
    See if its possible to have a floor drain. If concrete is already poured
this is probably not practical but if a new floor is going down ask about
what it would cost. It will make cleaning easier and prevent flooding.
    I am still doing with a darkroom that masquerades as a kitchen most of
the time.
