Very observant grasshopper!
Yes. I did use sand! Where were you when I began this project? You would laugh if you saw it up close.........how it undulates in elevation. The sand was all daddy's idea; how's that for passing the buck? I think I will put treated 2x4's along the edges and stake them down so that they fit real tight along the edges. That ought to keep it fairly stable, huh?

It might help. You might also want to ask at the local hardware store or Home Depot if there is anything that you can use to stabilize the sand after the fact. Maybe there is something that you can inject. What you want to prevent is erosion and collapse. I think there is a parable about where to build your shed (solid rock, not sand)......
Hey. Look at this link.

I don't know whether your foundation is salvageable. I would advise you to start over and just use the beam type foundation (seems to be the cheapest). I fear that if you continue with your present method, the sand will undermine and shift, the shed will tilt, and ultimately, you could exacerbate global warming. I would hate for you to continue building and then have to tear it down because it is all out of kilter. I have no experience with this kind of thing, but your picture just rang alarm bells in my pea. Maybe you have researched it and you know what you are doing. If so, disregard this notice.
