Thanks, JC, that's pretty much what I intend to do. There is a wall of white painted siding not that far above Little Rock -- maybe four feet up. So yeah, it will need to be covered.
The ground cover bed -- well, both of them really -- are under whatsit, sofits? under the edge of the roof two storeys up. So dropping stuff, and/or stepping might be an issue -- they'll have to use a high ladder or maybe a scaffold for that part. But! That's much later on, turns out at first all that will be painted are the porches.
