When loggers clear cut the property back in the 1970s, this building likely served as a maintenance area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was pretty run down, but we shored it up and it gave us a place to sleep in those early days of construction of the Earthship.   Back in 1994, Jay built on a screened in porch with a brick floor, and we felt like we were living in luxury.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later we enclosed the porch with straw bales, making it a habitable space during the colder months.  We have since added a wood stove, and turned the space into a recording studio for instructional videos and radio podcasts.  The straw bale walls work great for deadening sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluerockstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Peace-Porch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1882\" width=\"451\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluerockstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Peace-Porch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluerockstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Peace-Porch-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluerockstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Peace-Porch-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluerockstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Peace-Porch-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><figcaption>Peace Porch tucked down in the dogwood trees.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hope is to one day add a porch on the west side, expanding it into the woods in a way similar to what we did at the Dogwood Chalet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peace Porch is attached to the only original building that was here at Blue Rock Station when we bought the place.
