Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CHARGES (RECOVERIES) FOR PRODUCT REMEDIATION, NET	NOTE 19: CHARGES (RECOVERIES) FOR PRODUCT REMEDIATION, NET In July 2017, we announced we were implementing a solution to address concerns regarding our TJI® Joists coated with our former Flak Jacket® Protection product. This issue was isolated to Flak Jacket product manufactured after December 1, 2016 and did not affect any of our other products. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we received and recorded an insurance recovery of $68 million related to our remediation efforts. In addition, we recorded insurance recoveries of $25 million and product remediation charges of $25 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $290 million for expected costs associated with the remediation. The charges and recoveries recorded are attributable to our Wood Products segment and were recorded in "Charges (recoveries) for product remediation, net" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
