Line of sight is tricky during the fall and winter months... sometimes the foliage comes back and it kills your connection.
there's lots of solutions for wireless between buildings,If it's just a few machines that have to log on then an access point will do. But if you are talking about real networking usage, subnets and all, then the real solutions like microwave, laser, radio, are all available, just expensive.
If you are talking about just trying to share bandwidth from one friend to another you may want to try using something like a www.cantenna.com to focus the signal and get further distances.
IMHO, wire is usually the cheapest and best way, if you can just run CAT5 over to the other house, going across the street is going to be a problem.
