More stucco removal

Friday, May 6:  I finished covering the scaffold with thick plastic sheeting, then went inside and continued pounding out stucco.


With the scaffold covered in plastic, I have a nice little "greenhouse" to work in. The plastic is to keep the chunks of masonry from flying all over the yards as I pound it out from the inside.



The large section of stucco to the right came out easily. I chipped all around the edges with a framing hammer, then pounded the center with a sledge hammer. A huge chunk – still held by the wire mesh – went flopping down and slammed against the glass. I was relieved the glass didn't break – I want the enjoyment of busting it intentionally!  Perhaps I will make a video of the event.
