Dressing up the Dragons for the holidays

Hi All;
This past spring, the Shop Dragon got a partial rebuild, and at the same time, she got her first coat of oil on the bricks.
Sure made her look good!
Late this fall, the Studio Dragon got a full update, with a new double bell, new spiffy metal bling, and a nice oil job for her bricks.
Sure made her look good!
Meanwhile, Shorty, the belle of them all, has been left feeling neglected. (She really was not!)
I had assured her during the long summer that I was saving the best for last, and her time would come.
As the hot months passed, a coating of dust covered her beautiful bricks, and the deeply embedded clay began to show up as grey around the edges.
As the heating season began, Shorty showed her displeasure, struggling to remain above operating temperature(130°F) at the outlet and dripping black water from her cleanout door.
Burping during startup, even blowing the cleanout door open one time!
All sure signs of an unhappy Dragon!
(They also happen to be sure signs of a typical cold shoulder season startup and of living in a dusty 100-year-old house...)
Yesterday was Shorty's day at the spa!
She got a complete makeover!
She got her ashes hauled! Always makes a girl dragon smile!
A complete dusting and a new coat of oil to bring out her deep brick red color.
I removed her Raven bling and epoxied rare-earth magnets to the bricks to allow for easy removal during her spa days.
What an attitude adjustment!
She is feeling good, looking good!
She is heated up with two fires a day.
The Belle of the ball is cruising the Swamp Creek drainage daily, and she is STYLING!

Love this!! I love that the kitties approve, too - not always easy to achieve!
