Hey y'all,
So I'm redoing my darkroom, and so far everything is much improved. I'm setting it up in my laundry room and I'm using the W/D hookups to do so. This is a great way to setup a darkroom w/o needing dedicated water hookups. I'd be glad to discuss how, and it's quite easy with the right plumbing.
Anyways, I'm hoping to get a little fancier this time around and I'd love to include an in-line thermometer.
I'm not opposed to spending $30 or so and getting a new one, but I'd rather explore the DIY possibilities first.
Here is one idea from the brewing circles, and although it wouldn't be dreadfully accurate, it'd probably be good enough for non-critical black & white work.

And here is a more taylor-made solution, but it uses the same mechanism (those stick-on thermometers from the pet store)

Anyways, I think that with our powers combined, we could develop a more sophisticated and affordable solution.
Cheers!
