It is now 9 months since we moved in to the new house and things seem to have settled down. So, time to convert the second garage in to a darkroom. In my 1937 edition of The Leica Handbook there are several plans for darkrooms but I rather like this layout. This is for a 7’x6’ darkroom and I have 25’x12’ to play with! As this will probably be my last darkroom I intend to make it as luxurious as possible.I will partition the space so that I have a 12’x12’ darkroom and the other room will function as a study cum digital workstation and have the Macs, scanners, Terastations, printers, bookshelves, kettle and sofa.
I have already had the garage door taken out and the space bricked up and a nice big window installed so I can look out over the beach. Next it is internal framing, insulation, plasterboarding and a wooden floor to make it look habitable. I also need to work out where the extra services like central heating, water supply and electrics need to be delivered to.
Just looking forward to being able to empty all the boxes with the darkroom equipment in and set it all up and start producing prints again. Serious cold turkey this last year. Although Susie says I have been a “grumpy old git” without the darkroom.
