I have a storage room connected to my home and the outside walls are constructed of concrete blocks with brick on the outside.
I want to install an exhaust vent to remove tractor exhaust fumes because I frequently work inside this building.
I have cut concrete blocks with a diamond or abrasive blade in a skillsaw and I have also cut them by fracturing with brick chisel.
These blocks are the hollow type and I am not sure which cutting methoid will work the best.
The outside brick will have to be cut with a saw and I can accept that.
However with all the dust associated with saw cutting, it will create a problem inside the building.
Will this work or does someone have a better idea ?----
I plan to cut and finish the 10 1/2" square opening in the brick and then use the brick chisel to fracture both sides of the concrete blocks to create a 13 1/2" square opening.
I know that a perfect cut will not be possible, but I don't want to do a "shoddy job"
Bear in mind that I could cut the inside surface of the blocks but the side that faces the outside brick is the problem.
I guess I may be trying to do too good of a job!!!

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
