Step closer to develop again
[posted at 14:06 GMT]    

I always feel so good, if it happen to me that I manage something nicely and it's working perfectly. Not I am not talking about web shop again ;-)
As you maybe remember I have little trouble to resume my developing procedure after we rebuild the bathroom. The last thing I need was that nice hose you use for washing negatives in tank. I didn't use it before because I could nicely manage with hose from shower. Now it is not possible. Viera has a brilliant idea to develop in the kitchen. I do it anyway always in the evening. Last thing was that in kitchen sink is deeper and there is no hose which will fit in the tank. I was looking at Internet for those original washing hoses and found three types from Paterson, Kaiser and Jobo. All of them rather expensive (over 15 euro) and I need to count minimum of 10 euro postage as no shop near stock them.
And time went on and on I wasn't sure if I really want to spent the money with the risk that hose will not fit into my tank. I use old tanks I bought when I was twelve. They work perfectly and all my data are for those tanks.
The other day we went to hardware store and I have notice that I can by fitting for our water tap in kitchen and fit hose on other end. And that what happen I bought one, fits perfectly. I also had some rest from transparent plastic hose I used for aquarium which fits as well. Everything works just perfect, I also added some kind of seal for outside of hose and opening in tank which holds house tightly in the tank. Works perfectly! I believe that any other will not fit this perfect. So my washing will be more efficient and I can start developing tonight. What a beautiful day!!! :-)
