You gave it away to soon. That’s what I was going to guess.

I like the office floor.

Ugh!
Are those normally noisy? Can you quite it via adding rock wool insulation to the closet?
The closet wall has rockwool insulation and two layers of 5/8 sheet rock on the backside, (since I stubbed in a 1/2 air line to put my my noisy Craftsman 30 gallon compressor aka the screamin' demon in there) but the Saniflo pump is in an uninsulated recess in the wall. Didn't have room in the narrow closet to push it back any further, it would have blocked the door opening. Live and learn. Might try some thin sheet foam in there to see if it helps attenuate some of the growling. But it works great and I can live with the intermittent noise.

Is the saniflow rigidly connected to the toilet or is a fernco used? Pump bolted down with isolators?
I need to scroll back thru your thread.
I’ve no experience with those. Only ejector pits, pump, and check valve type setup. We do this at the day job when hung sewer conditions occur. I have this also in our basement. All we hear is the “swoosh” of the pumped discharge.

Might I suggest a change in your diet

I have some liquid applied sound deadener I've used on a couple vehicles in the obvious places.
My laundry closet has bi-fold doors and they resonated quite a bit of noise. I took them off and applied the sound deadener to the back of the doors which quieted down the laundry sounds.
What about using some thin sound deadener product in the pump cavity to reduce the noise?

I went back and looked at your pictures of the Sanibest pump install.
I wonder if a sound deadener between it, the sill plate, one vertical stud (if it touches), the concrete, and perhaps the escutcheon would have helped. Looks to be all rigidly connected (no Fernco style joint). Would likely be a ***** to install that now unless that connector to the toilet is threaded.
Deadener applied to the tank sounds interesting.

We stayed in a funky hotel once in Seattle; the basement bathroom had one of these toilets. Not something one flushes at night....
My landscaper got the little courtyard wall built and the scratch coat of stucco on it yesterday. 
I need to pick up the column caps and some more cultured stone corners for him to install next week, didn't have quite enough left over from the last project. I will also need to build a gate and a short section of wrought iron wall topper to match the courtyard on the other end of the house. This area will also get pavers; it's a screen wall for a mini-split compressor and my trash bins.
The area in between the wall and the existing paver driveway will get a couple of Bougainvillea bushes and gravel to match the rest of the landscaping.

Fargo I recall offered a 9' bed.
My Ramboxes make mine little more than a grocery getter.Picked up the column caps and more cultured stone today in my "grossly oversized RAM crew cab pickup with a ridiculously short bed."
Have i mentioned how much I like this truck?
Helped a friend move some big leather furniture today. Hauled a full size 3-seat sofa in the bed of my oversized Ram Crew cab with the ridiculously short bed. Another neighbor helped, he hauled a big oversized electric 2-seat reclining sofa with his Chevy 1500 short bed. The owner took an chair and a half recliner and a big rocking chair in his Ram short box.
No one was hurt, killed or maimed, we made it home with no issues and the furniture didn't end up on the freeway because we all had short bed trucks. I realize that some here may consider this a miracle...
...but sometimes truth is indeed stranger than fiction.Took the advice of a friend in the HVAC business on the ductwork configuration in the new shop. The straight through design wasn't feeding much air to the 90° leg. I was able to get it reconfigured working by myself this afternoon. That little stepladder was exactly the right height to support the 12" duct on top of the big New Age cabinets. Still have the other full length piece to add after the garage door guys (finally) get here next week. The tee now splits the flow and the overall configuration looks a lot better, IMO.
More to come.

I like the spiral duct!
What is the hard line in the ceiling? Would not expect that with drywall finish.

That is interesting. I wouldn’t think an expansion joint would be required in that small an area. But I’d bet the type of construction for that trussed flat roof drove the decision. It’s not easy living in an oven state.
So what’s the deal Scott, inquiring minds want to know
Drywall contractor wouldn't warrant against garage ceiling cracking without an expansion joint perpendicular to the trusses. Probably overkill with 12" of foam and 5/8 type X drywall, but absolutely necessary in a typical uninsulated or poorly insulated garage with 1/2" "sag resistant" drywall.
