How To Cut PLASTER WALLS Clean || Wire Lath/Wire Mesh Nightmare!!

I cut my plaster walls clean and without cracking them easily with my favorite tools! But there were wire lath / wire mesh behind them that was a nightmare to cut thru and remove!
I wanted to create a nice niche on my plaster wall not knowing that I actually have wire lath behind them as my first level walls have wooden lath! It did not even cross my mind that I would find wire mesh behind the plaster on the second floor! It was a bad surprise but I eventually figured out a way to cut and remove the metal lath without damaging my plaster walls!👍👍👍

This is the only video that does a good job of explaining how to cut rock lath!

[@Von1966]

Searched many until I found this. Brilliant. x

I just had an electrician who couldn't make a whole in the wall for an outlet, that I want to move up, cause we didn't know that there would be mesh behind my plaster walls. But! Your video is amazing and im gonna make the hole myself! Thank you for posting!

[@WadaGoodIdea]

So glad that I could help🥰❤️ thank you for watching!

[@7andearth76]

Wow! This is exactly, I think, what I’ve got. I cut into a wall, hoping it was not lath and plaster, but it was. Okay. Then I hit a wire mesh. WTH. I ran to KZbin and found your video! Thank you.

[@WadaGoodIdea]

You are welcome! Good luck! :)

Hi from Wales UK. I found this really helpful particularly interested in the use of different multi tools ❤

[@shelleyshell1150]

Remarkable! You always find a solution 🙂

[@SexyEarHole]

This is a much smarter solution than I've seen in many videos by "pros". Great job, and thanks for sharing!

[@WadaGoodIdea]

That's so nice to hear!😊 Appreciate the comment so much😍

[@nikolaiv1138]

I had thought of using the same tool for this exact same type of wall, but wanted to check what others have used. And what do you know - here I find your video that put my idea into action and confirmed its efficacy in advance! Awesome video. And good to know that I may need some metal snippers as well. 👍🏻

cement wall boards with mesh are the worst. What a terrible construction material, I don't understand why this was used. I had to deal with this also and it was such a pain in the butt. Your video was a great find, I was trying to use an angle grinder also and didn't know there were tools for oscillating multi-tool for this kind of issue. Thanks so much, I am so thankful you took the time to make the video. So helpful and saved me tons of time!! Have a great day!

[@WadaGoodIdea]

I am so glad to help! I agree mesh wires in walls are the worst! Thank you for taking your time to write🤗

[@KenTeague72]

I'm jealous of your arsenal of tools.

[@gregorysans]

Good video! Although I find that the multi tool blades dull way too fast. I just use the angle grinder but I hold the shop vac up to it to contain the dust as best as possible. Wire lathe and structolite / plaster is a pain but it’s what all the houses in the northeast were made of!

[@WadaGoodIdea]

Great tip👍 thank you for the comment!

[@bernardmiller7247]

Thanks so much for the demo and the explanation. Really helpful!

[@WadaGoodIdea]

You're very welcome!

[@setlemon]

Suggestion for the easiest alternative: angle grinder with abrasive metal cut off wheel cuts through everything and anything fast!

[@tahirakgun]

bu video'yu bulduğum iyi oldu. malesef evimdeki bütün duvarlar böyle. ilerde bi prizin yerini değiştirmek istediğimde metali nasıl keseceğimi öğrenmiş oldum. teşekkürler

[@WadaGoodIdea]

Videomu işe yarar bulduğunuza çok sevindim şimdiden kolay gelsin..

[@romuloromero2268]

Thank you. Nice work

[@WadaGoodIdea]

Thank you🤗

[@giovannifergocci7739]

Great video!

[@flex_nyc9885]

I’m going through this hell now! My upstairs shower head connection had a hairline crack causing a leak downstairs to the guest room ceiling. That ceiling has drop ceiling tiles. I removed the drop ceiling to find plaster. I figured there would be wood behind the plaster. The whole ceiling has this metal layer behind the plaster

[@WadaGoodIdea]

Oh no what a nightmare!:(( good luck! I hope the video helps.

[@bobnewman1810]

Now imagine you need to do two entire walls of a corner room in a brick house to add insulated stud walls! 7 inch grinder with a diamond blade, or is there a better way? Multitool is too slow and blades don't last.

[@WadaGoodIdea]

Good luck! Multi-tool is not the right tool for that scale for sure!

[@zimpler8340]

I would have used a Sawzall with a metal cutting blade and ride along the joist.
