We are doing a delicate dance with the masons to get this done as easy as possible for them because they are doing me a favor. I would rather work when they are not here so I don't interrupt the flow of their work. I made up some plywood fixtures to hold the boxes with witness lines across the device mounting holes so I can chalk a vertical on the wall and get everything to be straight and level. I will saw cut holes, stuff the pre-piped boxes down the cores and attach them to the plywood via the device holes then tapcon the whole wood to the wall over the hole. When they pour the cells I should have boxes concreted in and sticking out 3/8" for the stucco. It took a while to make my plywood fixtures but it was more fun that watching 3 guys chip out 4 yards of concrete (the current step).
