Beseler 45VXL enlarger, Arkay 6 foot sink with Arkay drying cabinet. Got my 4 foot acculight viewing table and Seal 210 m dry mount press. A 50 sheet box of 11X14 Ilford fiber base Glossy and I'm ready to rock and roll. I just wish I hadn't sold the Arista cold light head.

My current darkroom, Focomat 1c in the foreground and a Focomat Iic behind me. About 10x12 ft with a 8ft stainless steel sink across and a 30x36 inch deep sink for print washing. Electronic control for water temeperature. Small enough to be comfortable - big enough to handle 11x14" prints - and in a pinch 16x20.
Print drying rack, dry mount, negative storage in an sep. room. All the walls are 3/4" marine plywood so you never have to look for studs to mount things. Multiple outlets high up - two sep. circuits. Filtered water and a cushioned vinyl floor.

Today the benches go in. Not a big room, only 3m x 1.8m. Hopefully I will have some prints by the end of the weekend. More images to come.

Chris, that is one serious 'man cave'! I've run a couple of prints off but I think I need fresher developer as they all had a warm tone. I inherited 5L of Ilford Multigrade which I was hoping to us up, but god knows how old it is.

Don't throw away the multigrade - you know you can develop film with it? You can develop most slow to medium speed films in 20ml in 300ml (per roll) for 2 minutes at 20c (yes - two minutes). 
I have an old container too, which seems to be OK with my paper (Ilford RC VC glossy).

All this just makes me pea green with envy.
No use showing my apartment bathroom, not set up now anyway.
And when I do get set up then the missus need to go......NOW!

The stereo is behind me as well as a 13 inch tv set tuned to show black and white and with a red theatrical gel taped to the screen. I can almost see the baseball game and print without fogging the paper.

When I was in college I did three month road trips (co-op school) and traveled with tanks, reels and gallon jugs. Usually I camped but about once a week I'd find a cheap hotel and process all of my black and white film. About once every two weeks I'd buy a one gallon E6 Kit and do a mammoth E6 run. Nothing wrong with bathroom darkrooms. There's even a comfortable place to sit!All this just makes me pea green with envy.

...and this is how it looks with the lights on:
Currently it in my parents' basement, but am looking to move it into my apartment bathroom in the near future!

A radio to play tunes?
I have mine on the dry (enlarger) side! Fun!
