Hey Tin Can:
I also only process B+W and have stopped using battery acid and Thalidomide in my processing. But it still gets damned hot in Summer and cold in winter. The venting above the sink is to take away the smell of the stop bath mostly. I don't enjoy it as much after a six hour printing session. Would a power vent somehow dimininish your results? There was a hole through the concrete foundation where the clothes dryer was hooked up. Didn't seem prudent to see it go to waste.
Because the space is narrow, without ventilation, it becomes pretty stuffy in there. With ventilation, it is nice.
You really put 5 gallons of water per day into the air of your lab? Seems like that would cause mold to grow.
Thanks for your comment.
