No, the water supply isn't controlled. The water in the 5 gallon break tank over the door warms quite quickly to ambient temperature, and when I need warmer water I use a small kettle to heat it. |

Certainly I do. The 40mm waste from the sink continues all the way across the yard to the house drain, both it and the incoming water main are enclosed in an insulated wooden casing above ground level.

Great article Dave. I remember reading it a while ago It must have been on EMMG, I think.
Have you worked out the cost of what appears to be a constant heating system which is on 24 hrs a day to enable you to use the darkroom at a moments notice? I must say that as a Jock this would worry me a little Secondly I think you don't have piped water from the mains. So how do you get the water into the 5 gallon tank and if you wash FB can you fill the tank and forget for at least one darkroom session? Why ask all these Q's you may say as I have a converted bedroom for a darkroom. Well strangely enough I was telling the wife that my velcro-stuck darkroom blind was inclined to leak on sunny days and one thing led to another and she hinted at a darkroom shed in the garden. I have reservations - no extra heating and it's just too easy to get to the toilet but it's as well to be prepared. Thanks Mike O'Pray |
