What about the neighbors across the street. Put a dual radio AP at the neighbor's and do a bank shot.

We did this in Orlando from the Orange County Convention Center to the School Board office. There was a large building in the way, so we did a 9 mile shot to the top of the Marriott and a 1.5 mile shot on to the School Board. We did it for a 4 day convention. No amps, just yagis. We did 2 point to point links for each hop. 1 vertical polarity and 1 horizonal polarity and trunked them together. We had enough bandwidth to support over 1500 vendors in the exhibition halls.

FYI: do not use schedule 40 PVC pipe for antenna masts, even temp. When the thunderstorm and winds come by, the signal will waver considerably.
