Hello MFKer's,

I've been lurking for awhile, absorbing as much information as I can, but I do have a question regarding using standard 16x8x8 concrete blocks and rebar.

Right now I'm in the middle of redoing my basement (sump failed and other water issues, complete refinishing). The wife and myself are thinking about adding in a bathroom in the basement, so my thoughts is why not plumb a tank in at the same time? So, to my question: How high is it safe to go with a one block thick design? I'm thinking about bringing the blocks somewhere between 4 or 5 feet tall.

Thanks for the Advice!
