If I face uphill, most of my glazing faces a steep embankment and some rocks. If I face downhill, there's a pond full of ducks and some lawn.

I don't WANNA face it uphill! *pout*

I pulled this quote off Paul Wheaton's article on Wofati building theory  https://richsoil.com/wofati.jsp

" Don't worry, later I'm gonna poke a massive hole on the downhill side so I can still get all of that amazing view. "  


Might read and see how he does it :) Not being in the market for WOFATI, I have never thought much about it, except to read it a couple years ago.
 
please buy this thing and then I get a fat cut of the action:
