	Dec. 31, 2013
Asset Impairment Charges	6.    Asset Impairment Charges At the end of the third quarter of 2013, our Kitchen and Bath Cabinetry segment completed an evaluation of its information technology strategy. The evaluation considered opportunities arising from the improving U.S. home market conditions. As a result of this evaluation, the segment abandoned certain software developed for internal use in order to redirect financial resources toward developing more flexible systems that provide industry leading content for consumers and more advanced tools for designers to deliver a superior purchasing experience for their customers. The abandonment of this internal use software resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $21.2 million, which was recorded in operating income on the asset impairment charges line of the income statement and reduced property, plant and equipment.
