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: "Soapstone Kitchen Makeover"

• Feb. 27, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT
• Feb. 28, 2:00 a.m. ET/PT
• March 1, 11:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

It's a journey back in time as the stone guys, hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns, transform an unfinished kitchen into an old-fashioned country kitchen with soapstone countertops and backsplash.


"Assembly Required" on DIY

Episode: "Five Oaks Custom Prefab Home"

• Feb. 25, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
• Feb. 26, 2:30 a.m. ET/PT

 

The Sanders family in Colorado was told it would take more than a year to have a house built on their new property. Tired of living in a cramped RV, the family decided to give prefab a try. Their custom-designed, super-prefabricated house is taken apart and shipped down the road. Will the house be put back together the same way it came apart?

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Floating Vacuum, Heated Bathtub, High-Style High Chair"

• Feb. 28, 6:30 p.m. ET/PT

 

Check out a vacuum that floats on a pocket of air and find out why this makes for a better floor cleaner. Tired of running a hot bath only to have the water cool before you make it to the tub? A new heated bathtub keeps a hot bath hot. Plus, a new kind of stud finder instantly pinpoints the center of a stud and makes hanging heavy objects safer. And a modern, minimalist high chair could have your baby sitting pretty.
