  • When is grass a lawn? with Roger Cook + Chris Lambton
    We're talking with the experts HGTV's Chris Lambton and This Old House's Roger Cook: What makes a grass become a 'lawn'? Tune in.
    Green grass rules most lawns, but is that the only thing that makes a lawn? Mark started his career in home improvement as a landscaper in Cape Cod and has strong opinions about grass, yards, and lawn equipment. He's often seen 'walking the property' and loves to care for their yard. Theresa is not a lawn expert, and sees a landscape as art in terms of color, shape and texture.
    So we've invited two landscaping experts to join Mark & Theresa to talk about lawns and yards. Chris Lambton and Roger Cook are diving in to share favorite mowers, spring planting tips, landscaping pet peeves, ways to enjoy a yard, water conservation issues, and dealing with the new view of what is a 'lawn.'
    Chris Lambton is DIY Network's 'Yard Crashers' host and landscaping expert. A Cape Cod native, he and his wife Peyton Lambton hosted 'Going Yard' on HGTV. Often seen on The Weather Channel with his landscaping expert dad, Chris' passion for yardscaping is infectious.
    Roger Cook is the landscape contractor for the Emmy Award-winning This Old House, and appears on its sister show, Ask This Old House. Roger motivates aspiring green thumbs and inspires stumped professionals with expert advice learned over the course of a lifetime in landscaping.

  • How would you build Stonehenge today?
    So, how would you build Stonehenge today?
    We're asking expert builder and craftsman Paul Dimeo and blacksmith Carley Eisenberg.
    Stonehenge is probably the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. What seems to have started as an earthwork enclosure, it developed into the ring of stones that is highly recognizable by architecture and history geeks alike.
    So how did the Neolithic people build Stonehenge? It's a topic that has been discussed and discussed. We're fascinated by the engineering feats and organizational achievements that went into setting the stones. But more than that, we're curious how we could build it today.
    Here are the challenges:
    1) Dig the ditch, about 320 feet in diameter. It is about 20 feet wide and about 5 or more feet deep.
    2 ) Transport 25-ton sarsen stones, which are a type of sandstone, about 20 miles.
    3) Transport 2- to 5-ton bluestones about 250 miles.
    4) Work the stones into shape.
    5) Create mortise and tenons to fit the upright stones to the lintels.
    6) Erect the sarsen and bluestones into a monument
    Paul Dimeo is best known as the carpenter on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Paul began his interest in home renovation when he was five years old, after his family's home was destroyed by fire. Currently Paul can be seen on National Geographic's 'Building Wild.'
    Carley Eisenberg recently appeared on Ellen's Design Challenge on HGTV, sharing his innovative design abilities with her on-camera partner Jeff Devlin. Carley is a blacksmith with a master’s degree in furniture design, and has a forge where she fashions everything from hooks to trowels.
