I don't think this is a new idea though, but the equipment may be.
When back in the 70s we had this house rewired they cut the edges round
using some kind of hammer tool and then just gunged out the middle.
That was a technical term used by the elecctrician.. grin.

I've done it quite successfully by hand with a cold chisel and hammer.

Easier with an electrician's bolster!




I'm always worried on this 100 year old house bashing the hell out of
walls (brick lime mortar or lathe and plaster) for fear of creating more
cracks, especially of the other side of the wall which has just been
decorated.

My BiL, when chasing out the party wall to take a cooker point hit rather
too hard and the next door neighbours . looking through the hole said "Will
you take your brick out of our bath."
