pipe systems that are used for the boilers.
I am no expert whatsoever on boiler systems,but because of the unusually poor quality of
wo�..�nanship in puttir,g these i?"— i8" sec�ions of clay�Iue pi�e together and oec�ause �i
the deterioration of the �outing between these sections of clay pipe over 40 years; I am
worried about the safety of the present boiler chimney systems. -
Please call me if there are any questions.

estimate for this repair- There is a company in Denver, the �such as these t la�
uses a proce s s c a l l e d Th e r m o-C r e t e, t o r e h n e d a m a g e d fl u
- wo�Id be happy to arrange for the awner, G�eg Fanger, to come up and give

Dear VaiI Trails Condominium Assoc.,
The Hartleys (Vaii Trails West Unit 6} want to replace their 40 year old boiler and this
letter is asking permission to do so.
There axe two parts ta this project:
1. Create a safe flue pipe system for the new boiler.
2. Insta.11 a new boiler.
To create a safe flue pipe system for the new boiler, we have decided to use a very nevc�
chimney lining producdprocess called Thermocrete. The Thermocrete process lines the
existing clay boiler pipe with a %z"thick casting of high temperature resistant concrete.
This process is new to the United States and was only approved by the Town of Vail in
Apri12002.
The Thermocrete interior coating of the existing clay bailer pipe will take place from the
roof and takes 1 %z days to complete.
The project to remove the old boiler and insta.11 the new boiler will take place inside the
mechanical room and will take three days.
Please call me if there are any questions.
Thank you,
Rich Brown

Re: Vail Trails Chalet �
Dear Rich: - - -
We now have approval for both the liner and the ThermocreteTM process. If you are sbll znterested,we
could try to drop the metal liner first to see if it can be pulled through. If successful, that would satisfy
Mike McGee with the Fi�e Protec�ion Deparbnent and the Town of Vail.
� If the rnetal liner cannot be used to reline the boiler flue,then the Th.ermocreteTM process can be used �.
;' w�ith the approval of both the Tawn of Vail and reluctantiv,with Mike McGee af the Fire Protec�.on �
�ep_artment. Please let me know if we can be of fiu-ther assistance.
„ ^
Again, I truly apologize for the delay. We look}�orward to working wish you in the near fistz�re.
