Wireless access between 2 brick buildings

I'm trying to setup a wireless network between 2 brick buildings about
75 feet away. I'm thinking that a wireless bridge might be the best way
to do it.

I'm thinking about putting an ethernet to wireless bridge at my router,
in a window that faces the other building. What do I need on the remote
end?

The side of the remote building is also brick. There is a window on the
2nd floor. The computer is located in the basement. I thought I would
have to have another ethernet to wireless bridge in the window on the
2nd floor. Will I have to plug an access point into the bridge at the
remote building? Can I use the ethernet port on the remote bridge and
run the cable to the computer?


Is this a practical way to make this connection? If not, what would be
better?

I don't have to have the latest and greatest equipment. 11 Mbits/sec
would be adequate. I'm trying to keep my cost down.

What brand of equipment would you recommend that has been found to work
well and be reliable?

Thanks for your help.

I'd put a wireless access point in the 1st building, and a wireless
client bridge in the 2nd building, connecting by Ethernet to the
computer in the basement.
