CUSIP No.  971426 10 1                  13D                                    4

         This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule 13D
amends and supplements the original Statement on Schedule 13D filed on July 10,
2000 jointly by Wilmar Industries, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Wilmar"),
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, BW Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Merger Sub," and together with Wilmar, the "Reporting Persons"), relating to
the entry of Merger Sub, Wilmar and the Issuer into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") on July 10, 2000, providing for the
merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), whereupon the
separate existence of Merger Sub would cease and the Issuer would continue as
the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). This Amendment is being
filed to reflect the fact that the Merger has been consummated.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

         The Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer was consummated and
became effective on September 29, 2000. At a special meeting of the shareholders
of the Issuer on September 27, 2000, the Merger Agreement was approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the "Issuer Common Stock"), entitled to
vote. A certificate of merger was filed with respect to the Merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 29, 2000.

         On September 29, 2000, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock was converted into the right to
receive $13.15 in cash (other than shares of Common Stock (i) held in the
Issuer's treasury, (ii) owned by Wilmar or Merger Sub or (iii) held by
dissenting shareholders; and each outstanding share of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Common Stock") was converted into
one share of Issuer Common Stock. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 constitutes
the Final Amendment to the Schedule 13D.

         A Form 15 has been filed with the Commission in order to deregister the
Common Stock. A Form 8-K was filed on October 2, 2000 with the Commission
containing a press release relating to the foregoing.
