Body Scaffolding

 getting paid to practice while making perfect

(+9, -1) 		 

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.
