If there's a union handy, shut off the utility and fire up your hole saw
for the cleanest fitup. Otherwise, hole saw first, then slot in with
the circular saw. Save your dropoff and screw it back in place using a
c. 22 ga. galvanized backing plate. Blend the surface with any
"cementitious patching compound" per www.hardie.com.
Good luck, Boat_dreams
