Darkroom Day 20

Still weathering rain storms out here, so today was dedicated mostly to the building of the cabinets and shelves that will be placed over the desk area, as well as in the darkroom over both counter tops. I have to say they look really nice! I was just expecting like a plain ol' shelf above my desk, but as you can gather I have no control of what goes on in my husband's mind! He calls me, "oh, darling! can you come out here for a moment?" And then he gets my input on how the work space will be utilized and he has good ideas of his own too. He's used to building million dollar homes...so he's having a good time, however, tomorrow they are taking a day off. He needs rest and it's going to be wetter tomorrow than it was today.

In the meantime what the heck have I been doing, you ask? Well, I was finalizing my Dad's photo project of putting together a family album with all the old sepia tone photos of the Jackson family. I went into town and thought I would just copy the album pages to send on to his cousins. No such luck! The size of the album pages are an "odd" size and Staples couldn't do it, so they referred me to another printing place. Well, yeah, for a small fortune they could do it. I'm going to check with another friend of mine who does the same type of work (large format printing, etc.) and hopefully she has a scanner that can take that size page. I knew I should've gotten a larger scanner than the Epson Perfection 4490. I'll have to wait to see what I hear from my ffiend on this one.
