The end justifies the means

After my old AP fried to death, I had to buy a new access point. I got an new Edimax EW-7206APg for 80$. Well after installing the hardware on the roof, for better reception it took less then two days for problems to arise. Suddenly the AP wasn’t receiving any signal, I contacted the ISP and he said that the network was up and running. After some digging around, we found out that the problem is in the Network cable. The only thing is that we only figured that out at about 22:00. Witch meant that the cable cannot be replaced or fixed at the moment since the ISP guy didn’t have any plugs. Well, what should I do? Spend the evening without an Internet connection when the AP is perfectly fine? That just seems like a big waste to me. So, we brought the AP down from the roof and installed it on a ladder, and I had to sit in the cold so i can work, since I only had a short network cable that cannot reach were I usually place my laptop.
the next days, we reinstalled the box back in it’s place, everything is working fine, for now…..
