I need to install an access panel in the back wall so I can get to the shutoff valve and hookups for the cooktop and grill. I was going to put this in the space between the two of them in the front, but then decided I was (at some point) going to install a marine stereo in that area since I have speaker wires already pulled into the wall.

This was the initial cut with the angle grinder. Stucco is stupid easy to cut after four days of cutting and grinding stone.
