How do you all cut plaster walls for vents or electrical boxes, etc? I've tried the following options.
Drill series of holes in a line and cut out between holes -- works well, doesn't damage surrounding walls, kills drill bits, takes forever
Sawzall -- fast, sometimes pulls out large chunks of plaster around wall and breaks/loosens lath
repeatingly Score with a knife -- best result if knife doesn't get away from you. Takes forever, go through a few blades, arm gets tired
Drywall saw -- hard to get started, can damage lath like sawzall, gets stuck
Any other idears?
Thx
Jason
