NAHB-Produced Programs on the DIY Network

The NAHB Production Group produces weekly television shows for consumers on the DIY network. The following is the latest lineup:

"Indoors Out" on DIY

Episode: "Swedish Sauna"

• Jan.13, 6:00 p.m. EST

 

Hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns help a Swedish expat couple adjust to American life with a one-of-a-kind outdoor spa. Mats and Tanja had no place to celebrate their shared love of European saunas and spas in their tiny 1920s house. So Dean and Derek surprise the couple with a European-meets-American style room complete with an easy-to-assemble infrared sauna, gorgeous hot tub and a do-it-yourself outdoor shower. Beautiful bluestone and Tennessee crab orchard stone create the floor and outdoor cedar furniture completes the look.

Episode: "Pool and Pavilion"

• Jan.15, 11:00 a.m. EST

 

Matt and Danielle Meade own a beautiful home in North Carolina but don't get to enjoy the sunny weather inside their house. Hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns have an answer for the Meades — a swimming pool and pavilion. For this transformation, they install a one-piece fiberglass pool and build a stone patio and walkway. But neither will be as tricked out as the pavilion, which sports all of the greatest indoor amenities — a grilling station, granite counters and a flat screen TV — plus all the convenience of enjoying them outdoors.
