"Dream Builders" on HGTV

Episode: "Washington Townhouse"

A Washington neighborhood goes from forgotten to fabulous. A Tennessee couple builds a home with a 35-foot stone chimney that also serves as a climbing wall. A Maryland woman turns a tired farmhouse into a crowning achievement. Tour the historic Carroll Mansion in Baltimore. Today's linoleum is a luxurious and environmentally-friendly flooring option.

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Cobble Pavers"

• June 8, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT
• June 9, 1:00 a.m. ET/PT
• June 10, Noon ET/PT
• June 11, 7:00 p.m. ET/PT

 

The stone guys, Dean and Derek, who have worked with many products on the market, are convinced that you can't install an attractive cobblestone project without hours of backbreaking work. Join them as they collaborate with Orlando, Fla.-based Cobble Systems and learn that you don't have to trade style for ease of labor. They use this system of cast cobblestones attached to a grid backing to complete a driveway project that is not only distinct, but durable and easy to install. They also show viewers how to level and prepare ground for driveways and patio installations and how to design creative and practical projects. In the end, do Dean and Derek find that these cobble systems are too good to be true?

"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Deltec Round Kit Home (Part 2)"

Catch up with a Virginia build crew as they raise a round roof and wrap up the build. Also, find out how one North Carolina family made out custom-designing and general contracting their own Deltec home. Even when it's prefab, "doing-it-yourself" can be tougher than expected.
