If you're up for shooting slides, really all you need is a bathroom you can dark out to develop the film. you can even reversal process black and white negs as slides. Of course, it's overly complicated and not worth doing unless you enjoy slides. you do have to be careful with the chemicals, though. They can be dangerous if used improperly and can stain wood, particle board, walls, and pretty much everything on the planet :)

nice man do you use your own darkroom

I do. I converted an 9x12 foot tool shed that my grandparents used to own into a darkroom. It doesnt have running water, but I've gotten used to carrying 5gallon buckets of water to store under the wet side to replace the wash tray water every once in a while until I take the prints inside to be washed in a print washer that I hook up in the shower. What about you?
