making hole in wall of brick house
 

I want to make a hole for a vent in the wall of a brick house.
On the inside I see wood planks, on the outside there's brick. I have no
idea if there's something in between.

is there anything I should be aware of, anything I could do wrong while
cutting the hole?
there are circular blade kits used for making these kinds of holes, that's
what I will use

Many pros use a ordinary carbaloy bit (say, 3/8 or 1/2") in a hammer drill
to drill a rough outline and a cold chisel to chip out the rest. Less
likelyhood of doing something bad. Costs less than renting a Hilti hole
drill.

In cinder block, I've most often seen electricians and the like simply
whacking away with a hand sledge.

Hidden studs, wiring, and plumbing.

Hmmm. Either an awful small vent, or a rather expensive
tool for a one-time use.

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception may be different.

no, I forgot to say that I ripped everything out
only thing I see is some wooden boards and then I assume there's brick.

someone else will cut it for me, he already has a tool that he used to cut
one for himself. I'm just wondering if I can damage the bricks or osmething
along those lines.
it's a 4" hole
