It's immensely uncomplicated. It just takes time. Just make sure you have the instruction manual from Optiroc. Call them and ask them to send it if you haven't received it.
In the book/booklet/loose pages, all the techniques are described, such as reinforcement around windows and doors, etc.

I've looked a bit at your website and what you've written in previous threads. Did you do the plastering work yourself or did you hire people? (or which parts did you do yourself?)
I must say, by the way, that your house looks super stylish! Just my taste...

Hello hasse_f.
Thanks for the compliments, it always warms the heart.
The plastering job has been outsourced. It's the same guys who helped with the frame assembly and roof truss construction.
I tried plastering 2x2 meters in the basement and it was ridiculously difficult for someone who had never held a trowel before.
My employees and I helped to set up the mesh. It's not at all complicated, it just takes time.
The fasteners for the insulation and mesh are not sufficient according to the cc distances recommended by Optiroc. You have to supplement with some galvanized nails where the mesh isn't properly attached. The fasteners are too expensive to waste.

In all honesty, I don't know why one would use wire mesh when the surface is concrete, but I've talked to a bricklayer of the old school who very firmly insisted that one should use wire mesh when plastering a concrete wall/LECA block wall outdoors.
There are a number of rental buildings at Hägerstensåsen in Stockholm that have NOT used wire mesh. There, the plaster falls off in large chunks.
So, Ingvar - they are doing it right according to my contact, but as usual there's probably someone who argues the opposite...
(It probably has to do with the weather, and that's why one should always use wire mesh outdoors, I guess...).
