Wasted $300 on a wireless bridge when a hardwire was staring me in the face
Spent 3 hours trying to get a Ubiquiti wireless bridge to connect two buildings for an alarm panel, only to realize there was an old unused conduit running exactly between them. Has anyone else spent way too long on the fancy solution before seeing the obvious one?

Oh man, that's a rough one but I've been there too. Just one thing though - if that conduit was abandoned for a long time, you better make sure it's not crushed or full of water before you pull anything through it. I've seen old conduits that look fine from the outside but are completely blocked up inside. Also check if it has any sharp bends or was buried too shallow, that can mess with signal cables pretty bad. Still, way better than fighting with a wireless bridge for hours though.
