I am in the process of installing a tower requiring a base that is 48 in dia
and 6 feet deep. My current plan is to place it about 2.5 feet from my
basement wall. It suddenly occurs to me that this may not be a good idea
because of potential stress transferred to the wall when a big wind blows. 

Anyone have thoughts or experiences to share on this issue?
