Very nice...I can see how it might be good to have an unregulated
faucet and a couple of temp controlled ones. I don't thik I need any
more shots of it, it's all clear to me. I have other questions about
the size of your sink. Is it homemade or bought? Is it big enough?
Do you think an 8 ft sink would be too big or are you a proponent of
the bigger, the better?

I've found my sink photo's and will post them in a day or so.

As for sink size, I prefer bigger, and the one in the photo's that I
will post is 14'. and is able to handle 24" trays with a little room
left over (30" front to back"). But thats just me. If you go to all
the trouble of making the sink, why short change yourself later.

I am building a darkroom after finally moving to a house large enough
to hold one and would appreciate any links to some good pictures of
plumbing panels to go above the sink. I want to keep the plumbing
seperate from the sink for ease of construction and so I can set a
piece of plywood on top of the sink to use it to collect clutter as
well.

There is a nice book about darkroom building:
The New Darkroom Handbook (A complete Guide to the Best Design,
Construction, and Equipment) by Joe DeMaio, Robin Worth and Dennis Curtin at
Focal Press (ISBN 0-240-80260-8)
The sections about plumbing and electricity are impressive ...

Or, my first experience in plumbing is he

You probably should put the electrical plugs higher than what I did ...

Good construction,

Great ideas here http://www.bonavolta.ch/hobby/en/photo/waterpanel.htm

Yeah, if you want to be electrocuted...look closely.

Still alive ...
But you're right, depending on how you work, it's wise to put them higher.

#1 is small room and shows how lines come in from main lines. Sink is
12'
#2 is film room and shows the filters, with valves on either side.
Also the "L" shaped plastic things that screw into valves and plastic
tubing goes into.
#3 shows the larger room, and similar view to #1, but also work
station on left. Sink is 15'
#4 is toning area. Mixed line to each washer, and several for washing
prints during toning. Hot for clean up and cold just because. Prints
were dried on screens underneath that slid out for easy placement
after the wash. Also another good view of main supply lines coming
thru wall, and then to the access lines.

Hope this helps.
