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: "Walkway Revamp"

• Oct. 7, 6:30 p.m. EST

 

Expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns transform an ugly concrete and asphalt walkway into a welcoming stone path for a home in Braintree, Mass. It's a project with broad appeal because upgrading a walkway can immediately enhance a home. Using thermal faced bluestone, perfect for paving walkways, Dean and Derek take this 30-foot walkway from a muddy mess to an elegant entrance.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Sok Overflowing Bath"

• Oct. 7, 5:30 p.m. EST
• Oct. 8, 1:30 p.m. EST

 

The Sleepypod is the cat's meow in pet beds and carriers. Plus, discover a hydraulic coffee table that can be as tall or as short as your guests and a bean bag that turns into a bed. Finally, a new take on the old rolling pin, a guitar that can fold up and travel with you and a box that helps you turn your salmon fillets into genuine lox.
