You are lucky to have a crew, that will make it go faster. My husband did ours all on his own which saved tons of $$, but stretched the timing out over the whole summer as he was a weekend warrior. He would pull the kitchen apart on weekends and put it back together on Sunday nights so I could cook during the week. We were able to prep and wash dishes in our bar area, but I greatly relied on the grill and crockpot too.
