I understand your reluctance to pour concrete, but if you can find someone to help, it can save you a bunch of money. The actual material isn't that much and anyone can call a cement truck and have it delivered. After seeing them do this on my addition, patios and the entire driveway, I think I could do it. Dig deep enough to get a good base of stone, compact with a machine, lay some reinforcement mesh, and pour to a depth of 4" generally. Of course you need to know the proper time to float it, give a broom finish, and lay some expansion joints. This is someone with a little experience would help. That said, a decent home concrete job beats a gravel floor anytime. We have a barn that has a dirt floor and is pole built with no foundation. Along with being cold and damp, there has been many an occasion when I have surprise raccoons and ground hogs that dig there way in there.
