keep half an eye

"He kept half an eye on the house as he worked."
I wonder what this means. Is he a carpenter?
He is not working seriously?

Thank you.

He is not really watching the house. He is doing whatever work he does, and as an extra keeping an eye on the house but not with the same amount of effort.
