Spent 6 hours leveling my shed floor before realizing the ground was the problem all along

I spent a whole Saturday getting that base perfectly flat. Used a 6ft level, shims, the whole deal. Then I step back and notice the ground underneath has a dip I didn't catch. Got the floor flat but the whole thing rocks like a seesaw now lol. Has anyone else dug themselves into a hole like this before just laying concrete blocks?

Hah. Multitasking never works for me either.

Well that's a special kind of pain right there. I did something similar when I pre-leveled a whole row of pavers with sand, only to realize later the ground was sloped the wrong way. Now my little garden walkway turns into a wading pool every time it rains. Kinda adds character, right?

Dipping ground doesn't fix itself with a level floor though.
