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: "Masonry Camp"

• June 24, 9:30 p.m. EST

• June 25, 6:30 p.m. EST
• June 28, 11:30 a.m. EST

 

DIY's professsional stone-masons and cousins, Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns, go to camp to learn all the latest tricks of the trade at the International Masonry Institute in Maryland. Along with young architects and masons from across North America, they participate in workshops and demonstrations using stone, tile, terrazzo and plaster. There's even a design and build competition with craftsman and architects battling for bragging rights as the best building team at camp.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Mosquito Trap, Handy Tools, Stimulating Soap"

• June 25, 10:00 a.m. EST
• June 29, 10:30 a.m. EST

 

An advanced mosquito trap keeps up to an acre of land clear of the bloodsucking pests. New tools include a laser measuring device, painting system and a magnetic wristband to keep small tools close at hand. Caffeine-laced soap makes the morning shower more exhilarating. Plus, see a new soda keeper, hot dog griller, plant water monitor and more.
