AS far as the distance is concerned 200 ft is not that far and should not be much of a concern. as far as the material of the building is concerned if you have a window in the shop that faces the house put the antenna there and you should be good. Here is simple test to see if you are going to have a problem. Take a cordless phone from the house to where in the shop you want the antenna. If you can use the phone from that location then you should not have a problem with a wireless connection. Check to see if your phone says 2.4 Ghz on it. Most currrent cordless phones are and typically say so on them. This is the same frequency that wireless G and N operate on.
