NAHB-Produced Programs on DIY, Fine Living and HGTV

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

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Firehouse Patio Revamp"

• Oct. 10, 9:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Oct. 11, 1:30 a.m. ET/PT
• Oct. 14, 11:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

Hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns team up to rescue and revamp the firehouse patio of Engine 3 in Quincy, Mass. by turning an unsightly and rarely used space into a welcoming backyard and grilling area. The project calls for clearing out the area, installing a circular patio of concrete pavers and adding a stone walkway.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Powerful Pruner, Sock Cop, Car Chip, Flying Dog Treats"

• Oct. 11, 6:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

The Alligator Lopper can chew through branches up to 4-inches in diameter. Finally, someone has come up with a way to keep socks from going AWOL in the dryer. A small data logger monitors the speed, distance and manner in which your car is driven. And finally, a snack launcher for dog treats makes sure your pet gets his exercise in while getting his snack.
