Q: What’s the easiest way to remove stucco?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove stucco is to use a circular saw with a diamond blade to cut small squares out, pry them off, and then cut the metal lath behind it with tin snips. It&rsquo;s possible to do everything with a hammer and a crowbar, but it will take significantly longer and will wear you out more quickly. Plus, you&rsquo;ll have a higher risk of damaging windows, hidden siding, and sheathing if you go the less precise route.</p></div>

Q: Will Quikrete set without mixing?

• <div><p>Quikrete will set without mixing. The process of pouring dry concrete into your concrete form and then adding water is called dry pouring. While this method makes pouring concrete simpler and easier, it reduces its strength and durability. It can be a viable option for small, decorative concrete pavers for walkways or for setting fence posts, but it&rsquo;s not ideal for pouring slabs that will bear any significant amount of weight.</p></div>
