Cob: Re: Cob plaster on a conventional wall!

[Ocean]

Plaster lath is also known as "blood lath" due to its nasty qualities
of cutting unprotected flesh...best to use leather gloves when cutting
and nailing it up.  And it does cost $5-6 per 4'x8' sheet.  Chicken
wire would probably work too, just need to staple it up with heavy
staples to hold to the wall.

Our wall was sheathed with 1x6 T&G.  I used the metal lath because in
our commercial application (a busy restaurant) I didn't want to
experiment with something that might come off.

BTW, Kiko is Kiko Denzer, author of Build Your Own Earth Oven (can get
the book from amazon.com)

Restaurant pics soon...
