We are building a roundwood timber-frame house on a stunning 13-acre (5ha) site just outside Kendal as part of a small co-housing development with 4 other families. We have already constructed a smaller building using the same building technique which we are now living in. We have built and erected the frame for the main house and now need help with constructing a veranda around the house and putting on the roof.

Volunteering at the community was a fantastic experience. Rick and Ruthie and the rest of the community were incredibly welcoming and they really care for the volunteers - showing us around the district and helping us get to buses to see the district. Tasks were challenging at times, but Rick is great at explaining what to do and how to do them. Ruthie's cooking was fantastic and the kitchen was well stocked with breakfast supplies. It was a great place to meet other travellers and volunteers at various stages in their journeys, and a fantastic platform from which to explore the district.

My experience here was brilliant! I could not have asked for better hosts as Rick and Ruthie were amazing from start to finish. From supporting me through the work we did, to meals, accommodating our activities on the weekend, picking us up and dropping us off at stations on arrival and departure, they really went above and beyond! I would recommend anyone who is thinking of volunteering here to do so it is somewhere I would definitely volunteer again in future. They made us all feel welcome, I learned skills I never thought I would, and really made us feel at home with them.

I really loved my time at Rick and Ruthie's. They were incredibly welcoming, heartfelt and generous. Not only did they show us around the area, Rick also explained and showed us everything we needed or wanted to know about building, the work was so fun! I also don't think I have eaten that well for two weeks straight in a long time, thank you Ruthie for the incredible food and also for being so accommodating with me being vegan (they had always so many options for me to eat). Besides the nice work, the nature was also extremely beautiful and I met really great people there. Thank you so much!
