How to remove interior stone wall facade
I use an air chicle with a wide blade but a hammer and wide chisel will work.
Start at a grout line and hold the chisel at a 45, one or 2 good wacks and you will be to the base lay the chisel as flat as you can maybe 30 degrees for the first one and many times a good sharp wack will pop the stone in some cases it will shatter after a few adjustments of your angle you will start popping larger chunks.
I have a tile chipper on a pole it can be used but is harder on a wall than on a floor.
I find the trick is getting the right angle so 1 wack will take a stone at a time with a 6” or 8” chisel.
On ply wood sometimes can be tough.
When it ends up being Sheetrock after I punch through I tear the entire wall out.
When backer board and thinset it comes off mastic can go either way.
Wear safety glasses or a face shield some pieces do normally shatter.
A dust mask can also be a good idea lots of dust doing this.
I put tarps down or a wheelbarrow in the room and get good at piping right into the wheelbarrow, with the tarp 2 people grab the ends before it gets two heavy and take it to the dumpster.
