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 — Carrington Build"

• Sept. 24, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 25, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Sept. 25, 10:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

Habitat for Humanity grants a new lease on life to one family devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Operation Home Delivery started with a thousand volunteers constructing prefab walls on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now those walls are a home shell for the Carrington family in Louisiana. It doesn't stop there. Crew leader Jillian Gross has only five more days to lead a team of volunteers in a "blitz build" so that the family can move in.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Tables as Art"

• Sept. 27, 6:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

New designs for tables and desks are sure to bring some pizzazz to living rooms and home offices. An innovative floor mat will add style to your kitchen...as well as some comfort to your feet. And educational shower curtains will make bath time fun and help the kids learn a thing or two.
