First of all, thanks to all who responded to my previous question about
basement floors, your responses were extremely informative. Thank you
guys, you're awesome!
I have one more quick question: I am installing a second dryer in the
laundry room, and my HVAC guy tells me that he can't attach the new
dryer to the vent for the existing dryer and will need to run a new
separate vent. I'm curious as to what the reasons would be for not
sharing a vent between two dryers. (The HVAC guy couldn't give me an
explanation). Thanks!

Because you will be blowing lint and moisture from one dryer back into
the other.
(out of curiousity, why does someone need 2 dryers?)

I concur. There isn't a *check valve* that will seal tight enough and
still open under the pressure from a dryer blower. BTDT.

Big family? I recently toured a model home and they had two of
everything in it, 2 dishwashers (the theory being one dishwasher could
have clean dishes, and one could have dirty dishes so the family
wouldn't have to unload before loading) two washing machines (no sorting
clothes whites and colors), two dryers (to get laundry done quickly),
etc. Seems like a bit much to me, but it's whatever a person wants I
guess.

You don't need 2 dryers. But, many loads (like towels) take a lot longer to
dry than to wash. So it just speeds up the whole process.
