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: "Canal Brick Courtyard"

• March 3, 9:30 p.m. EST
• March 4, 1:30 a.m. EST

 

Expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns add a tumbled brick courtyard to the top tier of an interlocking wall and steps. Then they bump it up a notch by installing a border made from the same material as the wall. It's an easy, colorful way to bring a sense of design and purpose to a yard that was once sloping and underutilized.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "New Shapes for the Bath, Rainbow Walls, Cobblestone Drives"

• March 4, 1:00 p.m. EST
• March 7, 2:30 p.m. EST

 

When it comes to style in the bathroom, flat may be where it's at. From a flat sink that seemingly defies gravity to a showerhead that looks like a UFO, see the new shapes that are taking bathrooms by storm. Plus, add some color with glass block walls that morph through a rainbow of colors and dress up the front of the house with an affordable cobblestone driveway.
