Yes I did notch my uprights. I have a hand saw with a blade like a jig saw only its thicker and only supported on the one end. I forget what it's called. Anyway first I bored a 1/2" hole in the corner with a drill, then I cut my two vertical cuts to the corners. Next I put my blade in the hole and cut the horizontal run to the opposite corner. It works really well. Most folks use a chisel and hammer and just knock the chunk out after the two vertical cuts but I didn't trust that I would get a clean straight break so I used the saw. I'll take a pic of the saw. Hope this helps. J
