Default Wireless network

Internet connections in my area are either t1 or wireless and are very
expensive. Our place is on the edge of town, covers acres (A little
less than five) and has three buildings (Metal roofs cinder block
external walls). Can someone recommend complete (Cables seem to get
cut here a lot.) solution that stays legal (Boise Idaho) and will
cover our needs?

While I am not stupid this is not my field of expertise so a list of
equipment would be appreciated. That is if this is even possible.

I am looking for something that will cover to the buildings. Once at
the building's I can then take the signal back to a wired network.

You can see the place I am talking about to get a better picture.
(next to an airport.)

I have looked at http://www.technolab-inc.com/cgi-loc.../ppalstore.cgi
to cover the area. From what I have read I understand I can not output
more than 1 WATT at the antenna.

If I go with an netgear WGT624 amp and antenna I think I can put out
around 38 DBi
