The backstop worked as planned. I shrouded three-fourths of it in plastic, then started wailing on the wall from the inside with my framing hammer. Here are the results:

Above and below: The scaffolding caught most of the mess as I pounded the wall from the inside. I had to clip through the stucco-mesh periodically as I worked my way down. |

I worked my way down between the two studs to the top of the window-header.

(After I was done this morning, I stapled some plastic over this opening to keep the birds and bugs out.) |
