I have a composite brick veneer wall that consists of typical wall construction; gyp board, stud wall, plywood, air space, and brick veneer. I would like to remove part of the brick veneer only. I need to cut a hole in the veneer to put a couple of shutters against the plywood portion of the wall. They would be surrounded by brick mold. In effect, it would look like the shutters are closed over a window, except there is no window inside.
It also has to look correct inside; no empty window cutting through the whole wall. If there was some way to set up the empty window so it would only cut through the brick portion, that would be perfect.
I've done it in the past with two adjacent walls, one framing, one brick, and that worked fine. This time I thought I'd save some time and use a composite, but did not think about this issue, and have too much wall to change it all now.
