Plaster party day two

We did manage to cover the north wall completely in plaster in two
days. Here's another thing I would do different next time that I would
highly recomend. I would drive bamboo poles down through the bales to
tie them together when stacking the walls. I was told people shouldn't
drive rebar through anymore because metal condensates and could rot
the bales. Also, metal expands and contracts with hot and cold so
chicken wire or 2" welded wire mesh over the straw could move a bit
and crack your plaster. That all makes sense to me. Im all for leaving
the metal out of my house, but the rebar should have been replaced
with wood stakes or bamboo. You have to push hard to mash the plaster
into the bales on the first coat. In some cases we are pushing the
bales in a little while applying plaster. They are showing sone
movement which could have been stopped. Easy to fix, just go around
the other side and push back into place, then smooth the plaster out
again, but I'm definitely wishing I had secured them better for the
plastering. Once the plaster is on both sides and dry, the walls will
not be moving anywhere!
