NAHB-Produced Programs on DIY, Fine Living and HGTV

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

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Tile Bathroom Upgrade — Country to Elegant"

• Sept. 27, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 28, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 28, 10:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 29, 11:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

Hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns start on a bathroom renovation and find themselves in over their heads. But with some expert help from guest Amy Matthews, host of DIY's "Bathroom Renovations and 10 Things You Must Know," they transform a country cottage bathroom into classical elegance. They replace plain tile on the floors and walls with honed and tumbled marble.

"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Operation Home Delivery — 51 Frames"

• Sept. 17, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 18, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 18, 10:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

After Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, hundreds of thousands were left homeless. How does the rest of the country help those in need? Habitat for Humanity volunteers from across the country gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to build enough walls for 51 homes. It's called Operation Home Delivery. One of those homes is going to the Carrington family in Louisiana.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Sound and Motion Chairs, Faucets and Shower Tiles, Lunch Containers, Garage Organizer"

• Sept. 20, 6:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

The latest for your home theater — chairs that vibrate to movies and music. Update your bath with funky retro faucets and shower tiles. Keep picnic foods cool and other neat lunch ideas for kids. A grid system makes short work of organizing a messy garage.
