Curtailment of Manufacturing Facilities	Dec. 31, 2019
Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Curtailment of Manufacturing Facilities	Curtailment of Manufacturing Facilities On November 2, 2018, we decided to permanently curtail LVL production at our Roxboro, North Carolina facility by December 31, 2018. After extended efforts to improve the throughput and cost position of LVL production at Roxboro, we concluded that we would be unable to reduce manufacturing costs to an acceptable level. Roxboro will continue to produce I-joists. As a result of the curtailment, we recorded $55.0 million of accelerated depreciation during fourth quarter 2018 to fully depreciate the curtailed LVL production assets. In addition, we recorded $2.6 million of construction in progress and spare parts write-offs, as well as $0.2 million of severance-related expenses, recorded in "Loss on sale and curtailment of facilities" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. On February 20, 2020, we made a decision to permanently curtail I-joist production at our Roxboro, North Carolina facility by March 31, 2020. Across our industry, I-joist consumption per housing start has trended downward in recent years which we believe is due to decreases in the median home size and an increasing proportion of slab on grade new home construction. Because Roxboro is a higher cost facility and we have additional available I-joist capacity at our Alexandria, Louisiana facility, we plan to permanently curtail Roxboro I-joist production. We do not anticipate any impact on our customers. We expect to record approximately $18 million of charges during first quarter 2020, substantially all of which will be to fully depreciate the curtailed I-joist production assets.
