This has to be a daft question, but I'm new to the land of stucco: I'm installing vents through the stucco exterior of my house and don't know how to cut through the bizarre mixture of cement, wood & nails that constitutes the wall of a (1931) stucco house.
The only one I did so far ended up being a messy chisel job... thank goodness it was a wide vent cover on the outside.

Todd

Hello
Vents 6"x14" vents? if so use a hammer dril and drill all 4 corners, check both inside and outside to make sure all will work, now use a diamond blade on a skill saw cut the stucco, wire and down to the wood, now a good sawsall with a good blade and you are home free...secret..take your time
do it only once at each vent....Good Luck
