Welcome to the forum! Basement darkrooms are a great thing. You can do a LOT with a very small space. Mine is 7'x8' with 6-ish foot ceilings, but I can print up to 16x20. I'm mostly doing contact prints in alt processes these days, but I still have my dream enlarger- a Beseler 45V-XL with a cold light head. Have lots of fun with your folders and TLRs - I've found that some of the very best photos I've ever made were taken with a TLR.

I'd love a early Yashica Mat someday. I think the design styling of the Yashica TLRs are some of the most beautiful out there.
I seem to be the oddity in that I'm not a fan of on camera light meters. I prefer my old handheld Weston light meter and a camera of the same vintage when I go out to shoot.

I've been using handheld meters for so long I usually forget about the in-camera meter (if it still works). Of course, that's only for the TLRs. Mine isn't as old as yours (it's some flavour of Gossen), although I do have a spot meter that I've been meaning to use more so I can dial in my exposures a bit better.
