Subsequent Events [Text Block]	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Legal Proceedings Subsequent to June 26, 2015, the Company used cash on hand and borrowings under the ABL Facility to fulfill its settlement obligation related to the Craftwood Matter in the amount of $40.0 million. Refer to Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding these legal proceedings. Agreement and Plan of Merger On July 22, 2015, the Company announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 21, 2015, with The Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THD Parent”), Chariot Merger Sub, Inc., a newly organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Chariot Merger Sub”), and GS Capital Partners VI, L.P., solely as representative for the stockholders and the option holders of the Company. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Chariot Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “THD Merger”), with the Company surviving the THD Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of THD Parent. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, The Home Depot will acquire the Company for cash consideration in the amount of $1.625 billion, subject to working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments. A portion of this cash consideration will be used for the repayment of substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing indebtedness and the payment of all related fees and expenses. Consummation of the THD Merger is subject to applicable regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The THD Merger is expected to be completed during the The Home Depot, Inc.'s third fiscal quarter, which ends on November 1, 2015. Subject to certain limitations, the Company or THD Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances including on or after April 21, 2016 if the THD Merger is not consummated by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date. Conditional Redemption of HoldCo Notes On July 24, 2015, the Company, directed that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the indenture governing the Company’s HoldCo Notes, give a notice of the Company’s intent in accordance with the indenture governing the HoldCo Notes (as supplemented to date, the “Indenture”), to redeem on August 24, 2015 (such date, including as it may be delayed the “Redemption Date”) in full the aggregate principal amount of the HoldCo Notes outstanding at a redemption price of 105.000% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the HoldCo Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the HoldCo Notes and the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date are conditioned upon the consummation of the THD Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the receipt of cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the original Redemption Date or the delayed Redemption Date, as applicable (collectively, the “Redemption Condition”). No assurance can be given that the THD Merger on which the redemption is conditioned will be consummated. The redemption of the HoldCo Notes may not occur and the notice of redemption may be rescinded in the event that the Redemption Condition has not been satisfied by the Redemption Date.
