Remove and repair section of old kitchen wall
'allo, I belong to a little brick bungalow in the midwest, built in '54, original kitchen. I need to remove maybe 2 sq. feet of the wall to replace a corroded drain pipe. Wall is ceramic tile in front of traditional plaster on steel lath. After repair of drain, I need to repair wall. Never worked with tile before. How to do it? It occurred to me that I *might* be able to cut thru both grout and plaster/lath and remove a square without destroying the tile (if I can come up with the right saw apparati). Might this be practical? If so, how might one *replace* the removed square, permanently mounting it back in the wall? Or do I bark up the wrong tree? :-) Any help/advice much appreciated.
