Hi Bill,

See if you can locate a copy of "The Darkroom Handbook" by Curtin & 
DeMaio, Focal Press (ISBN 0-442-21884-2). It's a good overall guide 
to many aspects of darkroom construction including placement, light 
proofing, plumbing and electrical work.  My own copy is well thumbed 
and marked from my own darkroom installation of four years ago where 
drainage was the biggest problem.  But the liberal arts major finally 
got things working :-)
