NAHB-Produced Programs on HGTV & DIY This Week

The NAHB Production Group produces three weekly television shows on HGTV and DIY for consumers. The following is the latest lineup:

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Stone Columns"

• Jan. 18, 9:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Jan. 19, 1:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Jan. 19, 9:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Jan. 21, 11:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

Make a statement with stone columns, the perfect accent for an entryway, whether it's a driveway or backyard. In this episode, expert stone masons Derek Stearns and Dean Marsico build square stone-faced columns with Weymouth granite veneer and then top them off with stunning bluestone. They use the granite's two faces — seam and split — to achieve a classic, handcrafted look.

"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Backyard Prefab"

• Jan. 16, 2:00 a.m. ET/PT

Backyard prefab is front and center on this edition of "Assembly Required." In Sonoma County, Calif., Yvonne Mathieu and George Reed build a Hooch shelter nestled high among the tree tops. In Ojai, Calif., Leslie Davis and her family assemble their new T House, a simple, open-air structure.
