Nutrient sources like granular fertilizers leach right through mulch, there is no need pull mulch back, scratch them in etc. And the bushes are better off if you don't dig among their roots. If this material is instead an organic top dressing, the soil system occupying the undisturbed mulch should likewise be able to integrate it and make it available to the plants. Nobody pulls back mulch, scratches in fertilizer and the like in nature. Mulch is the garden version of the litter layer in the woods - where plant and animal debris falls to the ground, gets taken into the soil system without human involvement.

Adding to DA's comment -- I too found the Arcsoft site which used/uses .phb files that may be album files. Here's a quote from Arcsoft: PHB files are proprietary album files used by some of our programs, namely PhotoBase. Albums do not store your images. They serve as links to files stored on your computer or removable drive. If you delete the original file, the thumbnail in the album basically becomes a dead link. For example, if you have files on a floppy disk and create an album, you'll always need to have that floppy in the drive whenever you want to view the full images. Likewise, if you have a digital camera that is read as a removable drive, you would need to have it connected if you create the album directly from the camera. The best thing to do is copy all of your images into a folder on your computer, *then* create the album referencing those files. Albums are useful because they let you preview and organize files on your system in a convenient fashion. It is also from albums that slide shows are made with some of our programs." They still offer ($) software that may be able to translate your pics to jpeg or they have some free help. Some of their software can be downloaded for trials which might enable copying to jpeg. Here is a link that might be useful: Arcsoft

Azinoh's thoughts in his first response may be valid. Getting huge text files is and can be vastly different to receiving images. Many budget priced cameras these days can be 12 megapixel so can create a large file with only one photo. I have contacts who have a 10 megabyte limit on emails. Just a thought.

Hello sorry I still have questions regarding this install. I don't think i made myself clear that my entire system in not being replaced only the furnace and evaporator coil. The actual AC unit outside is the original Lennox. The furnace they're installing is a Carrier. They're telling me i need to replace all of the Freon for the reasons below. This doesn't sound right. please offer your opinion thank you! This is an email response from the HVAC company explaining why they need to replace all of the freon. "Unfortunately we won't be able to use existent refrigerant due to the old oil mixed up with new refrigerant-non condensibles and acid build up inside refrigeration cycle. Since we installing new evaporator coil and new gas furnace we will be responsible to cover any repairs for the new equipment installed by our company. We will recapture and recycle existent freon. After we will finish install of a new equipment we will add new clean refrigerant . Remaining balance still stays the same $ 1852.00"
