However a brief, very brief, net search didn't find a U.S. counterpart. The
customer reviews also indicate it isn't very powerful so might not cut
through your walls anyway. You may have better luck finding an alternate
brand with more power locally.

I am remodeling this 35 year old house and throughout the house the walls
are made of a double layer of gypsum board as the layer underneath and a
layer of plaster / cement material on top. Total thickness is about 3/4".

This presents a problem in matching new wall with existing. If I use the
standard 3/8" or 1/2" wall board it will not match. I could use them in
areas where I torn down the entire wall from end to end, but in other
areas
I have to match the existing thickness. I guess I have three options:

(1) Use one layer of 3/4" sheetrock and try to match it, or
(2) Use two layers of 3/8" sheetrock, or
(3) Furr out wall a bit to use one layer 3/8" wall board

Not sure which one is the most convenient and economical.
There is no 3/4" sheetrock, only 5/8". I would think using 2 3/8"
sheetrock would be easiest.
I might either use 2 3/8" or may be fur out the wall a bit more with 3/8"
furring strips. May be furring strips will work out better.

Also, electricians, plumbers, window installers have worked on the house
and
there are numerous places I need to make a patch but the patching is
impossible since the cuts are done in an irregular fashion. See pic:

I try to cut them on a straight line and it's hopeless. Can't use a
recipricating saw because of the concrete layer underneath. Tried a angle
grinder and there were so much dust I could not stand it. Any advise?
Use a circulating saw and adjust the thickness to 3/4". There will be
dust but it will get the job done quickly. Try wetting down the area a
bit or have a buddy hold a shop vac close to the cutting to minimize
dust.
Thanks, It's hard using circular saw moving up and down with that weight.
I wish there is a laser beam cutting tool.





Ooooh, that's nice - I'll pop over to Can Tire and buy one for the op and
ship it to them for my cost only...
