Just an idea, but you look like you have a good amount of slope at the front of that shed. Have you considered a quick rental of a 75lb demo hammer and a few bags of quickcrete? You might drop that "floor" a couple of inches for a very small cost and not lose drainage. (You only need it lowered...

Ok... one MONTH to get the job done. (Seriously, it took 1/2 an hour and I was dawdling.)
I have video before and after with audio. I'm going to upload once I figure out which camera caught the best audio.
