Don't do it. Too much wailing and gnashing. You'll spent the rest of your life tweaking the damn things because *something* will annoy you. If you absolutely must do this I'd recommend Madisound for parts, although it's been about 10 years since I used them. They also do kits.

WHITE BAUHINIA

The white Bauhinia on our western boundary is putting on a good show this this year. It is actually a Highveld tree but has become popular with gardeners in all areas. The tree: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/14810754989/in/photostream/lightbox/ Close up of a flower:

Flocks of these are frequent visitors to our garden. This one is raiding a weaver's nest. The Afrikaans common name is Kakelaar because of the cackling sound they make - quite raucous if a large flock is working it's way through the foliage. They are mainly insectivorous but eat nestlings

Pull $10,000 in cash out of the bank. Buy a decent pair of speakers for about $800, and spend about $100 for your favorite libation. Pour a glass of the drink, put your favorite music on the stereo and while sipping a drink and listening to the music, make a small bonfire with the remaining
