Using a cherry picker huge time and effort saver, beats the heck out of screwing with scaffolding.
I found this place, http://www.bidadoo.com/ but there are probably other similar groups near you.
For the siding use any wood but not vinyl. It painfully doesn’t go with a log cabin.

surprisingly enough home depot rents those for a couple hundred a week, but one mistake driving it and you will do a world of damage. for this you could rent 4 scaffold bucks and 2 pulogs and have very easy access for worker and materials and never touch the porch roof, which from the looks lof the picture, would be a questionable support and wiouldnt react well to roof jacks. by the time you fix all of the roof jack issues you could have paid for the scaffolds. just my thoughts on this, but as I get older I have realized that cheap upfront cost is inversly proportional to final realized cost....
