Indeed, outhouses have many positive connotations, as in "bangs like an 
outhouse door in a breeze", but that simile is generally not considered 
compatible with brick construction.

If you choose to make your address public, I can send you a beautiful 
calendar "Outhouses of BC". I could not believe it when I saw it, but 
recovered quickly to buy multiple items for friends as Christmas gifts.

Indeed, one does not appreciate finer points of an outhouse until one has
to 
travel to one (at speed) across a farmyard in -20 degrees. Repeatedly.
Blame 
the egg salad sandwich...
