TIL my 'quick fix' for a wobbly shed base with extra gravel just made things way worse.

My uncle did that exact thing with his old storage shed. He kept dumping more gravel under one corner every spring. By year three the whole floor was so twisted the door wouldn't close. He ended up having to jack the whole thing up and pour a proper concrete pad. That gravel just shifts and settles unevenly over time.

That "door wouldn't close" part is the worst. Seen it happen too many times.

That whole thing about the floor twisting is what gets me. How long did it take before the door started sticking on him that first time? Was it pretty quick or did it take a full year?
