Understood.

BTW, I would be really hating life if I had to mix enough concrete to fill a 24x12 slab with depths reaching 10" or greater. I'm guestimating 4 yards of concrete for a 4" slab. Sackrete is in 1/3 CF bags, I think, so you'd need 300 bags??? 928's wife would need the biceps of Ah-nold.
We poured a 12x12 slab, about 4-5 inches thick. IIRC, we went through 150 bags of quickcrete. Hand mixed. Took a lot of time, but I'm proud that we did it! Actually, the floor was the easy part - the 1,000,000 nuts and bolts required to put the shed together was a pain in the butt!!!

If you can't pour the concrete without removing the floor than the notching idea sounds good, as long as you can deal with seams.

Yeah, my wife really loves me!
