Wireless network help

The church I'm working at has a house on campus that all of our interns stay in. We can get internet on the back porch and just inside the door in the kitchen if the computer is in the right spot. The rest of the house is just out of range of the internet from the church. Below is a PAmedic type drawing of the layout:

The light blue areas are where we get internet and where it comes from.

We're trying to figure out how to get internet into the rest of the house without having to shell out the money to get cable internet in the house or whatever, aka trying to save us and the church money.

Is there anything out there that would extend the network 100 feet from the main building or The Shed into the house?

Pier 45 doesn't have it's own router currently. Is there something we could put in there that could pull the wireless from the main building and the Shed and shoot it over here to the house?

Are there any other suggestions that you might have? We're okay spending some money on a one-time cost so that we don't have to pay a monthly fee.

is the church running g or n standard?? You could switch to n and extend the signal but you would have to make sure you wireless cards are compatible with n, if not then it won't do much good...I am far from an expert since we don't run much wireless on base we work with the basics...but thats the extent of my knowledge...so see if switching to n is possible...if you have already switched to n then I don't know what to tell you except to move the wireless access point at the church closer to your house...

Something like this will probably do the trick.

Why didn't you just ask me about this, goofball?

Hit me up offline. I'll show you how to set up what you want.

Cause you weren't online and I kept forgetting to ask.
