My brother-in-law from Boise called my shed foundation a 'temporary solution' and he was right

He pointed out my cinder blocks on the dirt were already sinking after one rainy Oregon winter. I pulled them all up and poured a proper concrete pad, 8 by 10 feet. Has anyone else had to redo a foundation after thinking a shortcut would hold up?

Depends on the soil and shed size. My cinder blocks on gravel have been solid for years.

Nice. Did the same thing for my 8x10. Used 12 blocks, dug down about 6 inches for each, filled with crushed stone and tamped it solid. No shifting, even after a rough winter.
