    dodgem - I think trying to use a jack hammer would be too much for you .probly the best thing would be to get or rent a concrete chisel hammer, being on the wall I have a felling that it's not concrete that it is sttucco shoulden break out to hard . JUST GUESSING ;;; Good luck & GOD BLESS :::F.B.E.
