[Cob] wood and cob meet, plaster

Chicken wire may be too shallow to hold the plaster. Better to use bleeder lath or 1/2" wire mesh.

Hello All,

 

As I work on my roof that will sit over my future cob walls, there are a few
spots where I realize I want to have a plaster on areas that will not be
cob.  These are small areas that are basically wood frame areas that I will
insulate in a 'typical' fashion.   I'm hoping that by putting on exterior
grade plywood on the outside, then doing something like stapling chicken
wire to the plywood, I will get a decent enough surface to then plaster
over.  Anyone have any experience with this? Am I crazy to bother with this?
