    Yup, I'm a tray guy.

    My dad was gone on business trips quite a bit when I was growing up, which probably has a lot to do with me not wanting locked doors between me and my daughter...

    Having the kids in the darkroom has an ancillary benefit too. They already know more or less how to do stuff, they want to help manage print development (though they have a habit of dropping prints while they're supposed to be holding them up with tongs to drip off chemicals before the next bath...) and they generally feel as if every trip to the darkroom is an adventure. I grew up on a farm and you learn how to do an incredible amount of stuff just from being there. I think the darkroom has that same effect. Working in an office...not so much. The kids aren't really ever there or welcome during real work. And they would find data analysis boring, which is my favorite part. Although, to be honest, they might be nearing the point where I could get them interested in that.

    Murray, as you develop plans and start working, please post your project. I have been a little surprised that nobody else has added a construction project to this thread. I felt like there was a significant lack of experience documented for building a darkroom when I started, and we can only fill in that void if we get it into a place people can look it up. My two cents.

    Well, I've photographed my darkroom all the way from a pile of logs etc in a barn to a fully armed and operational photographers' den, so as soon as I can get some pics scanned in I'll try and post something (and send some to UK B&W too...). It's still ongoing but darkrooms are never finished are they?

    Black Dog, I look forward to hearing about the project. Murray, just remember if you don't post the bonehead mistakes everybody else gets to repeat them...
