I look forward to reading about it. My wife and I have similar plans.
When I poured the runners for my pre-fab home, I had to rent the biggest bulldozer I ever say to haul them up the hill, we had so much rain that summer that even the bulldozer left ruts in the lawn over 10" deep and about 18" wide.
While a few trees are nice, it only takes a few too many to block the view that can totally change the feel of a place. Being on the hilside like you are, I'm wondering whether you are losing out on an incredible view with all those trees still there. If you took out 3/4 of them, it would still have the same feel, but allow you to see the valley and hillside. The bigger the view, the better in my opinion.
