I can't imagine doing that much,and have long wondered how this could be with the majority of US households consisting of one or two people - but if I did that much laundry, the logistics of drying them in the house could be a challenge. But at one load every ten days (= 3-person household), we've found that drying them inside in the winter and outside in the summer is a breeze.
