Hi, I have to install a octagon box for a light in an old house that has lathe and plaster. As many of you know it is tricky to deal with this when making cuts as it likes to fall apart. I need to cut a strip out so I can run my wiring through the ceiling joist from the light switch (second floor above, no attic). Is there any techniques you guys have that make cutting this stuff out any easier or less messy?
