    Lucky fellow. Mine's been packed since we moved early in the year. It was deemed house renos were a higher priority than the darkroom. I'm hoping to finally get at it sometime in the spring. I can hardly wait.

    Having moved to another house in the last year I feel your pain, David. And your joy, Vick. I wonder if film photographers move less often than other people just for the reason of not having a darkroom for some period of time. I told my S.O. and other family members that I have every intention of dying in this house (although hopefully not soon) simply so that I am not deprived of a darkroom again. Although, designing and building a bigger and better one did ameliorate the pain to some degree.

    Don't piss her off, your demise might be sooner rather than later.

    well I have had a darkroom for a while and still cant' say I've acheived full darkness but what few light cracks I have don't seem to affect anything.

    Congratulations on the new Darkroom !
    I also moved this year, "killing" the old darkroom was painful. Hoping I can get the new one happening sooner rather than later.
