On the $311 million, I guess, I’d ask you to go back to probably the Masonite Q2 results of last year and that’s going to break out the Architectural segment in more detail in terms of revenue and margins. We closed mid-May, so a good assumption is going to be to take about half of that in terms of run rate revenues and margins and that would have the impact of the Architectural divestiture on our $311 million in terms of the run rate that we picked up post-close of the business. So, that’s, I think, a pretty good way to frame the revenue side and the margin impact around the architectural divestiture. As we look going forward into the quarter, I think, we -- the Q2 performance I think and the business performed very well relative to the market in line with our expectations. We saw volume trending down in the first half as we see some more challenging market conditions. This is a category that’s got a little bit more discretionary aspects to particularly the repair and remodeling parts of the business. We saw those volume declines kind of coming through the first half of the year, and in our third quarter guide, we’re expecting that that’s the kind of market conditions we’re going to face into here in the third quarter. So, we’re going to continue to see some volume pressures as consumers are making some more discretionary choices around some of their investments in home repair and remodeling. We also see distributors buying cautiously in terms of managing inventories as we work through this high interest rate environment. But in the near-term, we’ve guided through that in our third quarter call that we expect to hear and see some near-term volume pressures. But again, medium-term, long-term, we think this is a great category to complement our Roofing and Insulation products. We’re bullish on new construction continuing to grow. We expect that interest rates are going to move down, and that’s going to open up repair, remodeling, existing home sales, renovation projects, that doors are an essential part of those projects going forward. So, in the near-term, we’re managing through some choppy market conditions, but in the medium-term, long-term, we feel very good about the product category and the position we’ll have in it.
