Maintenance Repairs : How To A Break A Hole In Stucco

I need to repair the pipes coming out of an exterior wall. To get access to them, I will need to get through the stucco. Should I just take a hammer and pound away at it? ~~~ phazei ~~~

Best Answer To Maintenance Repairs Question

Drill a pilot hole with a drill bit, then take a reciprocating saw to cut the rest of it away to form a rectangle. This way it will be much easier to repair. Just be SURE you wont be cutting through wiring. It may be easier to either do the work from the inside (sheet-rock is much softer so easier to cut through amp; easier to repair), or call a professional out to do the work and repair the walling when hes done.
