DIY bathroom darkroom

My "darkroom" is a bathroom I share with 3 other people. So, I have to be able to put together and take apart my setup quickly.

 

[Notes on the image contain info on individual items.]

 

I would prefer to have a dedicated darkroom space. But a quick DIY setup is doable for B&W film processing.

 

I'd like to be able to print, but I don't have the space for an enlarger and trays. An Epson Perfection V500 film/photo scanner is what I use in its place.

 

Things of importance not pictured here: black construction-grade trash bags (in stead of blackout plastic / dark shades) covering the window and door held in place with black painters tape (because it peels-off with out damaging the walls), and the film drying clips hanging from the ceiling-fan in my bedroom.
