Stucco around windows
Hello, I have started replacing two windows with stucco around them at the exterior side. The windows (no brickmoulds) to be replaced are not original, so 5" of the stucco around them is a newer patch compared to the rest of the walls. This makes removing stucco around the windows easier. Still, my progress with a concrete chisel and a hammer is too slow, a yard an hour or so.
Was wondering if this is my only option at this point? Thanks in advance, h. |
