Improper Building Site Preparation

What happens here

The placement of the mini shop was a mistake because it was built on a site that required adding dirt to achieve the desired level. The host explains that adding dirt inevitably leads to settling, which can cause structural issues and water problems over time. The advice is to 'always dig out, don't add dirt' when preparing a building site, as settled earth can lead to concrete cracking and movement. He contrasts this with an older, well-placed white shed that was a 'good move'.

Goal: Prepare building sites by digging out rather than adding fill dirt to prevent settling issues.
