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: "Tiered Garden Walls"

• June 21, 11:30 a.m. EST
• June 21, 3:00 p.m. EST

 

Using natural storne, DIY's professsional stone-masons and cousins, Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns, build three tiered walls into a slope to create a flowing curved garden. They incorporate a mixture of indigenous stones set in concrete and designed in the tradition of old farm walls and, of course, give it color and beauty with decorative landscaping. It's an easy inexpensive do-it-yourself project that will pump up a hillside with curb appeal.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

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

• June 17, 4:00 p.m. EST
• June 19, 10:30 a.m. EST

 

New, speedy skates tackle rough terrain smoothly. Discover how this residential elevator works on air pressure. An environmentally-friendly coffee table collapses and costs less to ship. Light up the sink with an attachment that adds blue light to the water stream.
