cinderblock wall thickness
I am putting in a decorative cinderblock wall. The wall will be stucco'd and capped with 12" wide, 1 1/2" thick bluestone treads. My question is should I use 8 inch wide cinderblocks or 10 inch wide? I imagine overall the thickness of the stucco would 1 1/2 to 2" (both sides). But 10" block is really 9 5/8 and 8" is 7 5/8" - I would like the wall to look substantial but not sure what adequate overhang would be for the capping.
