Congrats on your new darkroom, Mark!

Georges, the main piece of advice I can give you about those cement walls 
is....ENCAPSULATE.  I have a few things, cinder block walls & some exposed 
cement floor among them, which are very dust producing.  Every single such 
surface must, it seems to me, be thoroughly coated with primer and/or paint, 
or some other type of coating.   They make specific types for basements, 
floors, etc.

It's a drag to have to do this, & I am coming off a mostly nonstop 14 months 
of house renovations, some of which I have done myself....but I am 
determined to not skimp because I don't feel like doing it, and being sorry 
later.

Not sure what your heating/cooling system is, but we had new ductwork added 
onto our system to ventilate the darkroom, it's near the floor of the room 
entrance.  An updraft exhaust fan from a defunct kitchen stove is mounted 
above the sink, & works great.

I actually used that book to help me design my darkroom, Claudio.

Well, back to it.

Cheers, all!

-Adrienne
