Removing a bulkhead
I'm remodeling my kitchen and came across an unexpected bulkhead. It looks like drywall with wire mesh and plaster on the little bit I removed so far.
The center of the face and bottom do not have the mesh through them, just on the corners. I am needing to remove this as the 2x4 running across the ceiling and along each wall have to be removed so I can smooth this into the ceiling. My question, what will be the best way to remove this? I used a saws all but am concerned about knocking the ceiling and wall plaster loose. I was going to try an angle grinder but if there is a less dusty way to do this I'm open for suggestions. I know, wishful thinking but it can't hurt.
