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: "Eco Masons: Dean and Derek Go Green"

• April 15, 9:30 p.m. ET/PT
• April 16, 1:30 a.m. ET/PT

Using the latest in green products while working in California, expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns combine hardscape and softscape to create an environmentally friendly driveway, walkway and garden area. Permeable pavers, a water-saving irrigation system, organic plants, a weather station and low-voltage lights are some of the features they use to transform this Bay Area home into an oasis of sustainability. It's the softer, greener side of the rough and tumble stone masons.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

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

• April 17, 10:00 a.m. ET/PT

The Alligator Lopper can chew through branches up to 4 inches in diameter. 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 a car is driven. And finally, a snack launcher for dog treats makes sure dogs get their exercise while getting their snacks.
