It would still help if you could provide some form of diagram of your
setup.

Also, is the wifi router located in the house as near as possible to the
office/outbuilding? (to get the best chance of getting a strong enough
signal out there)

Any way to run an ethernet cable to the office?

I've had reasonable success running two wireless routers.  Primary one
has all the main settings enabled (e.g., configured to provide the
dynamic addressing, with a range of dynamic addresses, and left a
separate range of addresses which I use form Static addressing).  The
second router is at the other end of the house - the two are connected
together via wired ethernet.  The second router does NOT perform the
dynamic address allocation, it is only a wifi hotspot.  I did, however,
configure both wifi routers to use the same SSID and password. 
Generally a device will connect to one or the other - but "roaming"
isn't handled particularly well - if I move to the other end of the
house, a device will tend to stay connected to the one it originally
connected to, even though the second device now has a much stronger
signal).  If you're OK having two separate wireless networks, you could
configure the two hotspots with separate SSIDs and passwords, and then
just connect a particular device to one or the other.  BUT make sure
they are not BOTH trying to provide the dynamic IP configuration.
