@gabriell_lab What are you using for image gen?

Generation Suggestions

@antoine_os Totally agree, not much interest in analogue work on X. But there’s also more money for product so it’s tough to find the balance

@0xausten it's not the same people, most of my followers on ig are friends of friends from design school etc. on x it's more diverse and engaged, but more about tech and digital design. i wish i can reach more with physical design and art on here

i started to post again on instagram recently, using it as a creative journal, showcasing "selected works" it's crazy the difference of audience between x and ig. i feel i have double personality sometimes

@Laure_Michelon Let’s make some

@Markbuschn 🙏 big fan thanks brother

@gabriell_lab Fair play, wall sconce. Small LED ring hidden inside and you can put them along a wall, creating a pathway or individual moment

@0xausten Don‘t know what it is…but looks sickkk

@SMB_RealEstate Been scraping for these business last few months - good write up

Everyone in ETA is fighting over HVAC, plumbing, and landscaping deals. I bought shutter and shade manufacturing and installation business in Little River, SC, right on the coast between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. Two years in, I think light manufacturing is the best category in SMB M&A. Here’s why: 1. The moat is physical. Anyone can start a pressure washing company next Monday. You can’t replicate a shutter factory. Equipment, tooling, 30 years of supplier relationships. That’s a real barrier, not one protected by brand or Google reviews alone 2. You own the product, not just the labor. Home services sell hours. Tech calls out, revenue stops. We build a physical product in a factory and pair it with an install. Labor and install aren’t the sole revenue drivers but rather a complement to what we sell. Yes, HVAC and plumbing sell equipment too, but they’re reselling someone else’s product at someone else’s margin… 3. You capture the margin others give away. Home services compete on labor pricing and our direct competitors resell products from other suppliers. We manufacture in-house, so the distributor markup that would normally go to a middleman stays with us. That’s structural margin baked into the model, and not margin you grind for on every job. 4. The multiple was lower. HVAC and plumbing has been bid up to 5-6x+. Light manufacturing flies under the radar because most buyers want “asset light.” I bought two facilities and now own the real estate and real equipment at a price that wasn’t inflated by hype. 5. Demand is durable without being “recurring.” Coastal Carolina is one of the fastest growing markets in the Southeast. New construction, renovations, storm damage. It’s not a subscription, but the baby boomer and young family migration tailwinds (to the Carolinas) isn’t stopping anytime soon. Home services are great businesses. But a manufacturer with an install component on a growing coastline is a better kept secret in this space. “Asset heavy” deters most but for us it’s an advantage.
