Just some thoughts---
I wash my negatives and prints outside in a VersaLab washer and water the foundation landscaping at the same time.
Drying screens are easily built.
A folding plastic table from Costco can increase your counter space yet store easily when not needed
Cleanliness is next to godliness---believe it! Do not tolerate dust in your dark room.
Enlargers do not like to wiggle.
For a sturdy counter with storage, find two identical "old school" filing cabinets (real thick steel, not the flimsy stuff they use today) look in a Re-store or used office supply and put a solid core exterior door on top. If you use this on the "wet side" invest in a plastic laminate for easy clean up. On the "dry side" you can run power cords through the cut out for the door knob.
