    Not in the joints, right into the block. You can use a masonary nail, cut nail with a washer on it to pin down the lath. On cement we use a Remington 22c nail gun

    I am facing an interior wall with stone. The house is made of 6 inch thick concrete/foam brick. Do I need to attach metal lath first? How would you recommend I do that?
