Walmart actually has unbelievably good paint and stain and power washers.

Seems like half the time, the summer weather is just no good for painting outdoors ...... too damp, too rainy, too hot, too humid, too something!
I agree. I'd also get an airless sprayer to get the stain onto the house (instead of dipping a brush in a bucket over and over), then follow along with a brush to even the stain out. A big time saver. That's what most contractors would use. Just my $.02.

Having said that I understand that not everyone is cut out for doing this work themselves.
