NAHB-Produced Programs on DIY, Fine Living and HGTV

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

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Stone Furniture"

• Jan. 30, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT
• Jan. 31, 2:00 a.m. ET/PT
• Feb. 2, 11:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

The stone guys, Derek Stearns and Dean Marsico, and guest artist Dwayne Cranford create a one-of-a-kind coffee table out of stone and salvage metal. Follow a large piece of stone on its journey from the quarry through transformation into a functional and stylish piece of furniture.

"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Glidehouse"

• Feb. 11, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Feb. 12, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

When architect Michelle Kauffman designed her Glidehouse dream home, she never imagined it would become so popular. Now Kauffman’s mass-producing her Glidehouse using modular prefab design, and the Minor family wants to have one of their own. However, getting the oversized modular home onto their lot on Puget Sound’s Whidbey Island is no easy task. Will the crew be able to get the 16-foot wide modules up a 9-foot wide driveway and around a hairpin turn? Find out on Assembly Required.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Speedy Skates, Home Elevator, Collapsible Coffee Table"

• Jan. 31, 6:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

These new skates allow you to tackle rough terrain smoothly. Discover how this residential elevator works on air pressure. And we find an environmentally friendly coffee table that costs less to ship. Also, light up your sink with an attachment that adds blue light to the water stream.
