All houses should be equipped with 2 dishwashers so you can move the daily dishes from 1 machine to the next.
Buy your next house from an Orthodox Jewish family, and it may come so equipped. Probably with two drawer type dishwashers to separate meat and dairy dishes.
I recently remodeled my kitchen but didn’t think about 2 dishwashers. It would not have been much more. You have to add the cost of the extra dishwasher, but you save on the cabinetry.
I also think that at least 2 dryers in the laundry room should be the new standard.
Yes, we are improving our standard of living with more material. Think of those housewives of the past slaving away to do their 5 kids’ laundry![/quote]
When we bought our house, we did an extensive addition and remodeling job, and added an extra dishwasher. My DH initially thought I was nuts, but has commented many times since then about how smart it was to have two dishwashers. We use both of them almost every day (family of 5 with at least 4 of us eating every meal at home with lots of cooking and regular dinner guests).
