Episode: "Modern Chateau, Concrete Retreat"

•  Aug. 14, 9:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

Classic design and high-tech construction define a Virginia manor — but you'll never guess what it's made out of. Also, a rustic getaway in Puerto Rico that realizes the adventure of indoor-outdoor living. And homes for man's best friend — architecture for pets and the people who love them.

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Fire Pit"

Aug. 14, 9:00 a.m. ET/PT

 

Derek and Dean build a stone fire pit with a crushed stone seating area in a backyard. They go to a local quarry to pick out a mixture of Connecticut green and New England fieldstone for the fire pit. They share tips on what stones to look for at the quarry and how to position and organize those stones onsite to ensure an easy installation and beautiful finished project. During the build, they explain ratio, mud mixing, chiseling and generally how to finesse the stone into place.

 "Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Post and Beam (Part 1)"

Aug. 14, 2:00 p.m. ET/PT

 

In this first of two episodes, a New England crew battles the elements with a post and beam kit, one family decides if prefab is the way to go for their Vermont home and builders who specialize in post and beam construction explain how they overcome challenges to stay on schedule.
