I've yet to do a full iron distance. One more year and my daughter will be in kindergarten, and my son will be in preschool. Then my training will really start.
I have done something I think is iron worthy though. Something that not your average person would undertake.
My house was built with a dirt crawl space. Once I knew I had a child coming, I wanted more room in the house. I dug out, with a pick, shovel and wheelbarrow a basement. I dug out a 17 by 36 foot basement moving red Georgia clay that was about five feet deep. I replaced all the supports, dug the drainage trench and put in a 36 inch steel door. I then built a stairwell leading down from a closet.
The only thing I didn't do was put up the cinder block walls and pour the cement floor. It took me from Thanksgiving until Easter to finish. It also helped level out my backyard with all that dirt.
What about you guys?
