I'm in the process of building a home darkroom (yippee!). Fortunately, I have the space to have one, though unfortunately, the only space is up in the loft/attic. My suspicion is the loft is going to present some challenges for me - specifically when it comes to temperature variations throughout a) the day and b) the seasons. I'm planning on further insulating the loft to help, but it will vary quite a bit. i'll be developing B&W film and printing (so will have the standard chems for both processes)
My question - will keeping darkroom chemicals in an environment with varying temperatures affect their 'life expectancy' and/or performance? I thought I may be able to stick my stock solutions in a downstairs cupboard where the temps are much more stable, but would mean hauling chemicals up flights of stairs each time I want to develop/print.
Any other things I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
