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.
