    Keep trying to get to this one and keep falling short. I will get there.

      Sometimes the day just isn't long enough. The Abernathy area is "the" place to see old stone buildings in Saskatchewan.

    Looks to be in great shape. Metal roof I think?

      Yes, metal it is. Metal roofs are the most cost effective but aren't historically accurate. A new cedar shake roof would have cost a small fortune.
