Fo real! it is a pain in the butt

everything looks good on paper and in theory, you know best how many
days you think it would take, obviously you've done this type of work
before. A good hearty sawzall can be invalueable to you; you can really
do some surgery with it.

If you know the key points that you want to take out, and you have a
good mental picture of what is behind plaster as far as framing, you
can take down large sections (but then again...think about smaller
pieces for the chute

it could be a good experience for you

if you do the teardown make sure you get a good sealing face mask,
theres alot of dust under the plaster, if your dropping whole ceilings,
or walls, definetely mask off that area, otherwise you'll have a coat
of dust througout the whole house...more than just a little bit.
