Chicago, IL, March 20, 2007--DIY Network’s popular home improvement series Rock Solid is coming to Coverings 2007. Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns, DIY’s stone and mason craftsmen, will be trolling the aisles at McCormick Place Convention Center, from the moment the doors of the Coverings tile and stone exposition open on Tuesday, April 17 until closing on Friday, April 20, looking for new products, design inspiration and installation ideas to share with their viewers on an upcoming episode airing later this year.
The duo—stone masons, cousins, and something of a comedic team who’ve endeared themselves to a growing national audience—will be filming with a crew throughout the four-day conference and trade show. They also will take time out to greet fans for an informal meet and greet session, and will take part, as well, in Coverings’ opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m., on Tuesday, April 17, presenting the annual Spectrum and Prism Awards, and total prize money of $36,000, for outstanding use of tile and stone in architectural and design projects.
Rock Solid is not the average do-it-yourself show. The program offers homeowners advice on how to use tile and stone in their building and renovation projects, as well as shows viewers each week how to build sturdy stone top tables, sensational outdoor showers, fabulous fire pits, rare rock gardens, and more! Rock Solid airs Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET on DIY Network.
