you know maybe it's a good thing that people can't sleep on ceiling, everybody's rent would double

it's a bit like crude oil. lumber cut up to what standards? or maybe chipboard or veneer or paper or cellulose fiber (used in many things including artillery propellant, hot commodity lately)? or maybe some form of chemically modified cellulose or maybe something else? then do you have industrial capacity and logistics for that? what if customer from egypt won't accept fiberboard made to an argentinian standard, that you made for an argentinian customer that changed mind or the other way around? canada is a rich country, can you make it competitive? sometimes it works. i heard of a case of company that bought logs from finland, processed them in poland into fiberboard and sold them, at least once, to a customer in tanzania
if it's for paper or chipboard, entire log can be used (waste is fuel for process heat/power)
that's gotta be $3500/mo just for it
the thing is in specific ways much older, i think that if you want to stretch it the first people you can credibly accuse of being ai bros were alchemists trying to cook homunculus, or trying to get infinite knowledge out if philosophers' stone
can you pull ethernet cable along power cables, wherever they are?
regular ethernet should work on this kind of distance, but it means digging
and only feels cool and useful when you're learning to write
Mate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It's also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need
First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They're using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don't have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.
You also don't need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can't weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine
Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you're set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)
to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that
... then what, get kicked out after first semester?
