Did you transport the Durst horizontal? How did that go?
Yes, I brought the Durst with me. I moved it myself rather than having the movers do it to make sure it didn't get damaged. I'm installing sinks and plumbing right now so the Durst is sitting in storage until I get things finished. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll get some pictures of the finished space put up here. Can't wait to be up and running again.
Technology is not a panacea. It alone will not move your art forward. Only through developing your own aesthetic - free from the tools that create it - can you find new dimension to your work.

Here is a shot of my darkroom. It is a small walk-in closet with my DeVere 5108 8x10 enlarger and Jobo tanks. All processing of film and prints actually happen on a Jobo CPA-2 and Chromega roller in the spare bathroom.

Your definition of "small walk-in closet" must be totally different from mine, if you can fit-in a 8x10 enlarger in it
My darkroom has a fairly small footprint of 5 square metres (about 55 square feet):
Colour safelight with #13 filter and 15W bulb, b&w safelight with 3 layers of Rubylith, film stash, bulb stash & various bits and pieces, Fujimoto 450 M-C, lightbox, RRB 20x24", Gossen Labosix, Minolta Color Enlarger II currently under repair, RRB 10x12".
Ultra Endura 42" from 2004, Ilford box containing Crystal Archive 14x20s cut from a roll, cutting arrangement feat. Kaiser Proficut 3 sitting on a working surface on top of the sink which can fit three 17x21" trays and is drained into a large bucket, fresh Ultra Endura 42", Crystal Archive 20", Jobo drums. Processing of 30x42s and soon 36x50s is done with a drainage pipe in the adjacent room, a former bathroom.
Three 25x31" trays made out of plywood, epoxy and polyurethane. They just about fill the width of the darkroom laid next to each other on top of the sink with a little extra space to exit the room. Any suggestions on the best developer for Warmtone FB paper?
