Self-elevating platform employing actuators

A method, comprising:

• arranging a plurality of actuators into an operating position;
• arranging a first upper frame and a second upper frame proximate the actuators;
• attaching a support to the first upper frame and the second upper frame,
• wherein the support is located above the actuators;
• extending the actuators to engage the support;
• extending the actuators to raise the support, the first upper frame, and the second upper frame to a first position;
• arranging a first middle frame below the first upper frame and a second middle frame below the second upper frame;
• retracting the actuators to lower the support, the first upper frame, and the second upper frame to a second position;
• attaching the first upper frame to the first middle frame and attaching the second upper frame to the second middle frame;
• and
• removing the plurality of actuators from a location below the support, the first upper frame, the second upper frame, the first middle frame, and the second middle frame.
