Did a lot of prints in the company presidents basement darkroom. All of the company product photos were done in his den and process/printed in his basement. He customized his setup. For big prints he had an add on for the enlarger and a trap door in the bottom of a light sealed closet upstairs. Even though he had LOTS of money he was about doing things as affordably as possible.

Remember one night the sink faucet in the darkroom was leaking. We spent and hour finding some gasket material and making a new seal for it. Think we could have gotten a new one at the hardware store for not more than 25¢ in less than 30 minutes round trip and $1.00 worth of gas. In his mind we saved money because we used what he had on hand.

Only got to use Glen's photo print services a couple of times because the pres wanted to do it himself. We even built our own processor for large poster sized prints. Then about a year later got a high quaility large format inkjet that pretty much made the large photo prints too expensive.
