Default Good Morning from Wisconsin

Good Morning (here in WI),

I stumbled onto the FADU forum via another analogue photo site, glad to have found it! I am currently shooting mostly 35mm but plan on medium format in 2019.

Currently, I am in the home stretch of a small home darkroom build (mudding/taping, then paint and plumb in the sinks), hope to be printing a bunch by week of Christmas! Have not been in a proper dark room since the mid 1980s, so it will be a work in progress...

Look forward to talking to everyone, picking your brains on DR techniques and seeing your work!

Welcome aboard Brian.

That's dedication right there! I though I was doing well to use a spare bedroom - I didn't actually have to build the actual room itself

Looking forward to seeing the end result once you get settled in to the new darkroom.

Have fun, Bob.

Welcome Brian. We can't see the darkroom until your attachment is approved but good luck with progress. I take it that heating will be provided in there. Wisconsin, as I understand things, is not the warmest state in the union in the winter

A small minus in the outside temperature in Centigrade is one thing but we tend to forget how cold this is when expressed in the same figure in minus Fahrenheit

Thanks for the welcomes! Yes, DR will have heat and is insulated-made progress today. It is in the basement so temps stay fairly consistent year round. Right now we have 30-40mph wind gusts and a blizzard warning. Yeh winter is here early...

Whoops - I didn't notice the attachment needed moderating - my magic powers lets me see all... I have cleared it now so all can wonder at the dedication on display!

Good luck with the build Brain!

Cheers, Bob.
