Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

[barryjyoung]

I have my photos set to automatically transfer to Photos.google, when around wifi. real time saver and can access anywhere I can get online. and that sink is HUUUUGE, one can leave everything in it (print and film washers/trays/etc).

Well, space goes pretty quick with 20x30 trays, but I rarely use those. My Arkay rotary and archival washer are pretty big space takers too. But maybe it will be big enough. I hope so.

I am going to have to wait till tomorrow to sort out the cell phone photo thing. I have two good things to try now, thanks guys.

I have a large amount of FULL Kroger distilled water 1 gallon jugs

They become hard to find storage space

I also drink and cook with it

Handy.

I wanted my own 'still, but it is far cheaper to have it delivered with grocery

Handy.

Well, I have a bunch of progress to show. but even though I have uploaded photos here for a long time, it no longer works. Yahoo is making me wait an hour before I can log into my email account which has traditionally been how I get images from my phone to my computer for uploading to LFF. Now when I send pictures to my yahoo mail they do not show up. No explanation, no error messages. Then I wait an hour to find out that they didn't show up. So I trie Tin Can's FLICKR idea, that saves all my photos in some goofball format that does not work for LFF plus I have to rename each image and I am just really frustrated. So, until I find a way that I can plug my phone into the computer with a USB cable and easily download pics to the computer in .jpg format which is easy to upload here, no pictures.

Today my wife and I got the walls adjacent to the enlarger stations painted flat black today which is what I was going to show pics of, that didn't work.

Hopefully tomorrow we will mount the enlargers on the wall and with luck attach the enlarger base table to the wall with hinges with removable hinge pins so it can be easily removed if I want to project onto the floor for big enlargements which I hardly ever make.

See ya

Barry, I have not had trouble linking to Flickr since I got the right directions. I upload PNGs or Jpegs to Flickr. Perhaps you are already familiar with how to paste only the part of the link between the img text. I hope you are able to resolve the issue; I know how frustrating such problems can be.

A ha!!! OK, I will dump some images and try again. Can you drag and drop images into lfpf?

Thanks Tin Can

Thanks Tin Can

I am trying to straighten it out now because I will be offline for a week.

Finally got three images to upload. First shows the 2x2 I screwed all around the room where I wanted the ce3iling panels to sit on. The second pic shows the back of one of the ceiling panels. The third picture shows where we painted with flat black paint to minimize reflections in the enlarger area. More pics and enchanting words when I return in three or four days.
