nah, read it again

Depends on the building, really. And if the poster is in Ireland, which seems likely, he could be in a fairly old building, making it particularly difficult.

For example, the building directly across the street from me (on the corner of Lawnmarket and West Bow in Edinburgh) is spraying water out from just between the first and second floors (second and third, if you're N. American).

I've yet to figure out the purpose of the fairly regular discharge (complete with a purposeful-looking pipe sticking out of the wall), but I have a hunch that wiring this building for ethernet would be fairly hard, if they can't even get drains in.

There's not a floor that can't be cored to. Likely, it may cost more in labour for this work, than purchase several AirPort Extreme bases.
But there are WireLess Bridges out there already (Orinco, Linksys, SMC... both for a, b and g).

I've always wondered about wireless repeaters...you could extend the nodes indefinitely..within reason and power access.. :)
