Hi Bill,
Absolutely!
It's an escape from the world of today with all it's damn destruction and 
stupidity where you have the choice of ultimate quiet or the gentle sounds 
of your favourite music. Quite the most relaxing time for some folks. Or the 
only sound is water gently gurgling while washing your prints!

Build the darkroom and enjoy some of the best moments of being a 
photographer! Particulalry, when you watch the magic a thousand times over 
as a print begins to appear and become something you are proud to feel... "I 
shot that, damn I'm good!" ;-) And laugh at yourself with the enjoyment you 
can only find in the dark of the darkroom.
