Additional Information: Around the outside edge of this circular saw blade are three expansion slots. These help to keep the blade from warping in the intense heat that is generated by friction during use.
At the end of each expansion slot is a round stress reliever which keeps the slot, essentially a crack in the blade, from growing.

AKA: Suspended Personnel Platform, Man Basket, Personnel Basket, Crane Cage
Location: Bethany Beach, Delaware
Additional Information: OSHA rules state that all safer possibilities for lifting workers into place must be ruled out before a crane basket is employed. The design of this water tower makes it difficult to approach maintenance or repairs using lifts, ladders or hoists and therefore the use of a crane basket is allowed.
Some crane baskets are equipped with overhead protection but this is only required when there is a danger of objects falling from above.

Location: Bethany Beach, Delaware
Additional Information: This balcony design is well executed in my opinion. It seems geared towards keeping young children safe and overall endurance one block from the beach.
This was the only balcony on the building like this. The units must all be individually owned for each has a somewhat different style. It brought back memories of the apartment buildings in Vilnius, Lithuania, graced with a checkerboard of open and enclosed balconies, all designed to their owner's taste and budget.
