Cutting Outlet Holes

Continued work on the outlets; cutting the holes. A diamond wheel on a Makita cuts the plaster very cleanly; pull out the plaster bits with a chisel. An 18-tooth hack saw blade on a jigsaw cuts the lath. If the lath pulls away from the plaster, a screwdriver can lever the piece outwards to steady it. Cut the lath only part way through on one side until the other end is cut.
