A temperature stabilizer too..
Yeah, i first came across this idea on a blog about some guy building a house in some Eastern European country. Anyway, he had massively insulated the house and had gone to great lengths to avoid thermal bridging, etc. The guy really knew what he was doing.

His final step was to finish the walls with chicken wire and some kind of clay plaster that he troweled on. He explained he was doing it to stabilize the humidity inside. Looked really great.
