Exterior Plastering. The plastering of exterior walls is doneto a large extent in Canada and the British possessions and is used toincreasing extent in the United States. This is best done over matchedboarding by furring off with seven-eighths inch strips and using wireor other metal lathing which later events have shown is better ifgalvanized or painted. The plastering should be three-coat work,with one-third of Portland cement for all three coats, the last havingthe coarse sand or gravel if a rough finish is desired. If metal lathingis not easily procured a good result is obtained by lathing upon theboarding diagonally in one-an(:l-one-half inch spaces and repeatingthe lathing diagonally in the opposite direction, all well nailed andsecure. Upon this we may plaster as upon the metal lathing. 58. GRAFTOn-MUDR0E
