Groups of gymnasts, cheerleaders and acrobats could be rented out as quick-assembled human scaffolding.

One could climb to the top of a living pyramid to be able to paint that last hard to reach spot on the gable, and Junior could be pulled up onto the highest shoulders of a people tower to retrieve that absconded model airplane in the elm.

       This sounds like some kind of performance art or a social experiment. I'd love to see that in a crowded city, maybe have a bunch of well-disguised business men and women suddenly form a human pyramid to retrieve a kite from a streetlight.

       I'm surprised the Chinese Olympic Gymnastics Team don't already do this for practice, on construction sites.
