That's quite the story Master Kurt
It must have been nice to have a place like that in which to do your thing.
Good pictures too. I wish we had a dark room...or I could rememeber how to develope pictures from my high school visual communications class. Especially since I love taking pictures.
Plus having your own means of devloping can stop annoying little questions at our local photo developing center...especially in my town where everyone knows me or my family and tongues have nothing better to do that wag and gossip about other people's dirty little secrets. :)
