I think when the house renovations are finished, I'll run fresh power lines (the current ones don't look legal), cat5 and phone wires:-) It's only about 30 metres. The major problem is my office, it's clad in steel. I have a detachable antenna sitting in the window space. Because of the patio and the slope of the land, there's also a steel roof in the direct path.
