When it comes to buying a gas log fire, there are some important factors that you should consider. First, you need to consider your budget and the type of heat required. If you already have an open fireplace that needs changing and don't want to pay for installation, this might be the best option.

Consider your budget

When it comes to choosing a gas log fire, you should first consider your budget. The most important thing to consider is whether or not you can afford the fuel and maintenance costs for your new gas log fireplace. If you have a limited income or cannot afford expensive heating costs, this may be an important factor when selecting which type of heater would work best for your home.

While there are many different types and brands available on the market today, each one has certain advantages over another depending on what they offer at their price point as well as how easy they are to instal once purchased (or even built).

Consider safety

When you're looking to buy a gas log fire and have no idea where to start, it can be hard to know what you need. The first thing that comes up is safety. When choosing a gas log fire, many different things must be taken into consideration. You need to consider the safety of your home, family members, and pets.

It's also important for you as an individual because if something were to happen, then other people would also be affected by it, such as neighbours or even strangers walking past your house!

Installation cost

Gas logs are generally installed in the same way as solid fuel fires. However, you should also consider the installation costs for gas logs.

• The average cost of installation for a gas log is around $1,000-$2,000, depending on its size and the type of wood used.
• A standard 2-meter long firebox (the space where the logs are kept once they're lit) can cost anywhere between $200-$350, depending on the brand and how many flames it has at once.

If you're looking to save money but still want to use your existing fireplace or chimney pipe system, then this might be an option worth considering before deciding whether or not to instal a new one!

Consider the level of heat you need

The first thing to consider is the level of heat you need. If your home is small, then a gas log fireplace will work well. However, if your home has a large living area, then an electric heating system may be more suitable.

A gas log fireplace can provide up to 50% more heat than an open flame fireplace and has several advantages over other types of heaters:

• Its cleaner; no smoke or soot is produced when burning logs on an electric stove or heater.
• It's safer; they don't require constant monitoring like wood stoves do because they burn fuel faster than either type alone would allow (although this also means that there's less time for them to be lit before turning off).

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many factors to consider when choosing the perfect gas log fire for your home. This guide will help you identify some of these issues so that when it comes time to choose between different types of gas logs for sale, there won't be any surprises! It's important to ensure that you're getting value for money and that your logs are safe before installing them in your home or office.

A car fire is one of the most dangerous situations. The materials from which modern mass-produced cars are made don’t resist fire well so the car can completely burn out in a few minutes. The situation when a car fire has only one cause of occurrence is quite rare. 

In most cases, with a deeper analysis of the incident, a group of culprits is determined. The most common of them is the human factor as well as mechanical and chemical causes. Their combination creates an incredibly dangerous situation. One aspect complements the other, thereby increasing fire losses.

In any case, if the car is already on fire, the cause is not so important. People don't think about whether the engine has overheated or whether a flammable liquid has been spilled until it comes to insurance claims. But, if you take into account the main factors that can cause a fire, disaster can be avoided. Here are six most likely fire scenarios that you should be aware of.

1. Poor maintenance

The human factor will also not serve as a direct cause of the fire, but again it will create favorable conditions for the outbreak of fire. Being lazy and setting fire to a car with gasoline and a match is not the same thing, but in the end, they can lead to the same result. Careless maintenance of the car can be an indirect cause of fire if you do not pay attention to broken parts or defects in the wires. For example, a bad engine gasket can allow a flammable liquid to leak, and frayed wires can help it ignite.

2. Design flaws

The culprit of car fire because of bad design is the manufacturer of the car. As a rule, this flaw doesn’t cause a fire by itself, but omissions in the design itself can create all the conditions for ignition. When they are identified, manufacturers withdraw their products from the market.

3. Accident

Depending on the area of damage, a car accident can cause a fire. Most cars are designed so that the metal takes the brunt of the impact, protecting important internal parts. But this protection is not always enough. With a strong impact, there is a high probability of fluid leakage, heat generation, and smoke, which together create ideal conditions for ignition. That is why even in the case when there are no visible signs of a fire, but a rather serious accident has occurred, it is necessary to leave the car as soon as possible. Only when there is no risk of fire, can you get a car to auto collision repair. 

4. Engine overheating

This factor is a great example of how one problem can cause an even bigger one. The car engine is unlikely to be able to warm up to such a temperature that it can simply catch fire on its own. The most likely scenario is that overheating the engine will affect the temperature of the oil or coolant, which, under the influence of this, will be squeezed out of their circulation zones and get on hot parts, which, in turn, will most likely lead to a fire.

5. Malfunctions of the electrical system

This factor is one of the most common causes of car fires. The configuration of any battery is quite complicated. They can release explosive gas in the engine compartment, and a short in the wiring can ignite it. Electrical system hazards are not limited to the area under the hood but can cause a fire anywhere in the vehicle. That’s why it is essential to check and repair the electrical system in the car in time.  

6. Fuel leak

Leaks in the fuel system are the most common cause of fires. They can arise due to external interference or by themselves, which is especially dangerous. Even worse, gasoline can catch fire from a spark even at low temperatures. At a temperature of 495 ° C, gasoline will spontaneously ignite, and this will turn into an uncontrollable process.

The BIRD WITCH - The Mattie Saunders Series Book 4

August 31 to Sept. 7th

at https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003DS6LEU

Can you love someone whose worldview is different from yours? Who is committed to a cause that excludes you because of your race? Simon is an Indigenous person dedicated to the struggle for justice for First Nations people. Mattie loves him but is love enough?

Birds are dying. At the Saunders Bird Rescue and Sanctuary where rescued parrots abandoned by their owners are rehabilitated and re-homed, a deadly virus has them dying in Mattie's hands. In the midst of this outbreak, she's called to investigate a mortality event where dozens of starlings fly into the pavement as if committing suicide.

Mattie looks to Simon, her rock and refuge, for support, but after spending weeks at a remote protest site, as soon as he returns home he begins working with Wendy Walters, the attractive, ambitious Indigenous politician on her re-election campaign. Mattie's just about had enough.

When Simon proposes a vacation on the Mexican Riviera, Mattie sees it as an opportunity to recover from the death of her beloved birds. She's also hopeful it's an indication Simon's reconsidering his priorities. She didn't realize while on vacation he'd want to attend the Conference of Indigenous Peoples in Chiapas. Mattie's annoyed but decides to indulge her passion and do some tropical bird watching rather than attend a boring conference.

But Simon's conference turns out to be anything but boring when a deadly firefight erupts between the Mexican Army trying to arrest suspected terrorists and revolutionary Zapatista's.

Now Simon is missing, and Mattie is determined to find him, but to do so she must first escape being kidnapped by corrupt Mexican police and avoid abduction by vicious cartel members.

The fourth book in The Mattie Saunders Series, The Bird Witch combines romance and action with environmental themes for an exciting exploration of contemporary culture and issues.

"... a great book. The characters are believable and relatable and continue to evolve as the story progresses. ...I didn't have to read the other three books in order to step into the main character's journey. Although, having read it, it makes me want to go back and read the other three!

"Great book. Highly recommend."

"Simon, was my absolute favourite character ... sweet and kind and endearing and patient and so well written" "One of the subplots in this book was romance and it was honestly so well done...interesting and refreshing and sweet."

Okay, so I'm "medicated" right now and hormonal as Hell. This should be fun.

Pros: well paced and in a unique town

Cons: I. Hate. Everyone. In. This. Book.

Every character was a cookie cutter walking stereotype. And the plot was so damn obvious I had it figured out about a quarter of the way thru. The only character I felt really bad for was the baby. My god. Insufferable petty white-people bullshit. And I'm white. I felt second-hand shame for these people. What was supposed to be political statements came off as just plain racist because of the blatant cliche of it all. 

But I had to finish this shit because I wanted to see how many things I had guessed right. The tally? All of them. Lord help me.
