<P>I think you have the right idea.  Plastering adobe is just like plastering cob.  All the in between brick spaces actually support the plaster better, so no lath is necessary.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Hello yaall, 
<DIV></DIV>>I am in Texas visiting my friend who's building an adobe. She's 
<DIV></DIV>>cement 
<DIV></DIV>>stuccoing the outside (not my idea) and I am talking to her about 
<DIV></DIV>>earth 
<DIV></DIV>>plastering the inside. The adobes are cement stuccoed together. 
<DIV></DIV>>Anything 
<DIV></DIV>>special about adobes.? She put lathing on the outside adobes. I 
<DIV></DIV>>don't want 
<DIV></DIV>>to do that. 
<DIV></DIV>>Any ideas or hints? Is it pretty much like plastering cob? 
<DIV></DIV>>Thank you kindly 
<DIV></DIV>>Ulani
