Once I'd cleared the back corner of the garden and measured out the building's footprint I laid some foundation stones.
For a building this small single, dense concrete blocks is sufficient and there's no need for much digging, concrete or fixings.
I dug shallow holes, lined them with several inches of pea gravel and dropped the blocks on top.
I set a corner block first and then used a good straight stud and level to level all the other blocks to that first one.
I tried to get the majority of each block inside the buildings footprint so that they wouldn't be sticking out too much at the end.
