Are those outlets GFI?
If not, I might have a suggestion for a safety improvement, what with all that electrical near a sink.
Getting real close to basic functionality on the wet side. Cut out my foot pedal valve, shortened my drain line and shoved it over about a foot. Relocated the faucet to the front of the sink panel (yes I have to cut off the faucet end to make it straight) and will fill the gap with a plywood cabinet for trays and other tall, skinny stuff.
Starting to feel like a darkroom to me...

All outlets in my darkroom are GFI. I put one GFI per double box and they are wired in parallel within the box, so the 2nd outlet is protected as well.Are those outlets GFI?

Thats a nice and simple set up, been meaning to do something similar.I finished replacing all the windows in my house (a multi-year project) and saved back a couple screens and repurposed them as print drying racks in my darkroom, shown in the middle of the photo on the back wall. They are hinged and I hook them to a chain that hangs from the ceiling. All parts recycled.View attachment 293179
Yes, the circuit breakers are in the main box, but if you are talking about the test and reset buttons for the GFI they are there just hard to see.So do the outlets have a circuit breaker? Its weird to me seeing power outlets without switches. Here you need to at least 12" to the side of a sink for a power outlet.

Here's a quick snap with the breaker activated and the warning light burning...

The cabinet space is nice, and was there when I bought the house. I think it was a workshop of some kind for previous owners, and I am guessing those were the old kitchen cabinets. Between those and the sink it was an obvious choice for a darkroom. Give me a few years and it should be a much nicer space to work.I envy all your cabinet space...
I just made my first wet print in over 2 decades and it WAS the comedy of errors I knew it was going to be, but I got through it alive.
Just barely...
As long as I dont gain weight I should be good.
That is the reason why I moved Into the garage! Basement ceiling was too low, got tired of cracking my head against beams.. lolAt least you can stand up in your darkroom!
What is the computer for? Are you maybe controlling your timing with it?
Update of my basement darkroom after the recent reno's. I picked up a cool Sebastien PVC sink from an art school and just had to fit it into my setup.

The company still exists and makes these sinks down in California, although I can't image what they would cost new... http://sebastiandarkroomprod.com/sinks.phpWhat's that sink in the last picture?
