NAHB-Produced Programs on HGTV & DIY This Week

The NAHB Production Group produces four weekly television shows on HGTV and DIY for consumers. The following is this week's lineup:

"I Want That" on HGTV

Episode: "Hanging Aquarium, Travel Grill"

•  July 5, 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
•  July 6, 12:30 a.m. ET/PT
•  July 7, 11:30 p.m. ET/PT
•  July 8, 3:30 a.m. ET/PT
•  July 9, 2:00 p.m. ET/PT

 

Bring the beauty of live tropical fish to any space with a wall-mounted aquarium. A sleek stainless-steel grill is contained in a tube less than 12-inches long. Ultramodern floor and wall tiles are embedded with lights. Plus, fun new pet supplies, a children's soap dispenser, a soda penguin and more.

"Dream Builders" on HGTV

Episode: "Palm Beach Villa, East-West House"  

•  July 8, 9:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

A Florida designer creates a home overflowing with Palm Beach elegance. Also, East meets West in the California wine country with a Japanese-style farmhouse. See a ridge-top home, inspired by the rugged beauty of middle Tennessee. Finally, a popular 19th century opera diva and the Women's National Democratic Club have both made a Washington, D.C. mansion their home.

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Interlocking Block Wall"

• July 6, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT
• July 7, 2:00 a.m. ET/PT
• July 9, 9:00 p.m. ET/PT
• July 10, 1:00 a.m. ET/PT

 

Dean and Derek, love stone. But stone just isn't practical for every project — like the 80-foot retaining wall featured in this project. That would entail a lot of stone, mortar and time. The stone guys' solution is to use an interlocking concrete-block system that doesn't sacrifice style for substance. And it goes up in a fraction of the time. Also part of this project, Dean and Derek replace the existing stairs and a crumbling stone wall with new steps and a retaining wall that tapers from the house down to street level.

"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "SIP Homes (Part 1)"

• July 5, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• July 6, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT
• July 9, noon ET/PT
• July 11, 5:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

A Vermont build crew deals with unexpected delays before they even begin constructing a house made out of structural insulated panels (SIPs). Can the crew get the job done in just four days? The Murphy family in Massachusetts wants to build an architect-designed house on top of four 20-foot tall retaining walls. Will SIPs work with their complex design? Also, an ambitious Virginia couple re-lives their do-it-yourself SIPs home build adventure.
