The home is in a smalll community on a 1/4 acre lot. The utility pole for
electric and cable service is next to the shop and the lines to the house
run almost parallel to the sidewalk between shop and house. I don't know
if
they will provide any interference to the signal.
Both shop and house are wooden construction. The shop was built in the
early
'40s and has interior walls of celotex for insulation; the house was
built
in 1898 and I don't think the walls are insulated. My wife grw up in the
house and remembers her Dad building the shop. She remembers him
finishing
parts of the house, but not insulating it. A neighbor's home had old
newspapers between interior and exterior wooden walls. The home had
siding
of a rubbery shingle style (I don't remember what it was called) which
has
beencovered with vinyl siding. The shop had that sasme shingle siding but
has been covered with T-111 wooden siding. The shop has an attic space,
too,
so if I go to an external antenna, I have a good place for it.


I believe that you will find that you can place your router in a
window in the attic or upstairs, put a reflector on it and get a
signal in your shop. You may have to work in front of a window at
the shop too, but you may not. 100 feet is not far.

You can make a reflector at home and play with it before you go.
