Need help with home set up

Hi guys,

So I have bought a house and found out today that i may be waiting up to a month to get internet connected. Not ideal as i have tenants moving in next week.

Luckily, my friend lives in the neighbouring house and said i can leech his WiFi until then, unfortunately his WiFi doesn't reach my house as there are a obstruction / range issues.

I have been researching WiFi extenders/repeaters/access points to try and come up with a solution.

His main router is in his lounge and there is a garage between me and him. I don't want to lay any cables in his house but i can lay cables from my garage to my house (reasonable WiFi signal in the garage).

Is it possible to add a WiFi extender inside my garage (to pick up his WiFi) and connect it via ethernet cable to a wireless access point in my house? Will that work or am i missing something?

Maybe there is a better/easier/cheaper way of doing that someone can enlighten me?

Thanks for your time!
