Montana Codes

Well, Montana has mandatory building codes statewide regardless of whether or not they appear to be enforced:

http://www.discoveringmontana.com/dli/bsd/bc/build_info2.asp

Making your own shingles for your own residence is not allowed under the IRC code that Montana uses because the grade of the shingles cannot be guaranteed not only for you, but for the next fellow who may own your house.

Now, if that doesn't bother you, then you could probably go ahead and do whatever you want and the other 4 state residents probably will never know.

Just hope one of those other 4 guys doesn't buy your home because I hear y'all carry guns and like to settle personal disputes the way you build homes:

The OLD way with no rules or regulations but yer own! :)
