The Eltham Timber and Hardware business was purchased by Rob Deylen and family in October 1974. In those days there was only a small shop area. In summer, the yard was a dustbowl, in winter; a mudheap. There was no forklift and all cement was unloaded by hand. In 1995 the whole premises was revamped and renovated. This resulted in a much larger shop area and a large undercover timber yard. It was at this time that the business entered the ‘Home' group.
