While not a ntive to Missouri, my maternal grandparents settled there in the late 60's, building a house on the shore of Kincaid Cove, on the Lake of the Ozarks. We were frequent visitors, and I remember that house, the attractions at both the Lake, and at Branson, and even KY3, quite fondly.

The house, though I understand it is no longer standing, was built, not by contractors, but by the family, bit by bit, starting with clearing the land (I distinctly recall my father, along with my uncles clearing that land when I was maybe 5 years old). I myself, in time put my own imprint on it, shingling the roof at a later stage (by then, the outhouse had given way to indoor plumbing, and the old free-standing pot-bellied stoves to baseboard heating).

This kind of thing is no longer done, indeed, is no longer legally do-able, but I'll always cherish being a part of it, back when it was...
