NO! Every method we have mentioned is a three figure solution (Those
Yagi Antennas can be quite expensive.)
Check out the site Tom sent you. It allows you to do it over the
existing phone line that connects the two.
Networking is not cheap!!!!!!

They just shelled out several thousand to get their driveway paved
over (apparently the gravel driveway was no longer acceptable) so
their budget is somewhat limited.

Yes, this is what I would look at first. It would be higher speed and
probably be more relable than wireless. You put a box at either end of
the straight copper pair and connect each box to the LAN at each
location. Such boxes are called "Ethernet Copper Extenders" and cost
about $500 a pair.
see www.ethernetextender.com for one example
