Rob,

It's not finished, but I plan to run 2 PVC pipes with multiple holes in
parallel above the 3 meters of the sink, to a larger pipe which will run
through the roof to a huge exhaust fan, capable of "sucking" the air of the
room out 15 times per hour. Over the pipes, there will be clear plastic
draped down to create a lab like work zone to keep the chemicals out of the
darkroom air. I owe this design to a combination of the darkrooms at work,
the Lauterstein darkroom in Texas and the Photo techniques issue on
darkrooms --- "Darkrooms for dinosaurs" ;-) 

cheers
