Can I ask where you got the water mixer / temp unit, something I still need to sort out myself.
Thanks!


The water mixer valve is a Intellifaucet D250 from Hass Manufacturing Company:

They are a bit pricy, but are reliable, accurate and long lasting.

You are right about that. It has been fun building it, but now it's time to do some printing (and develop loads of film). I hope to participate in print exchanges soon.

Trond,
It is good to hear that you enjoyed the darkroom building experience but there does come a time when to stop It looks a super darkroom to me and one that will inspire you to create. My tip would be to finish off what you have currently planned and then start using it and see where that takes you. I built my present (and 5th !) darkroom five years ago and within six months I was making some minor alterations and additions. I don't think it is possible to get it 100% right with the first go. Well not with me anyway

Neil.

Thanks for sharing Trond and I'll look forward to exchanging prints with you at some point, in the none to distant future. Really great work.

Trond - I would be interested to hear your opinion of this after you have been using it for awhile.

I have very high expectations of the mixing valve, as I've heard only good things about it, and it will certainly save a lot of time.

I will report back
