Thanks for replies. My post may be confusing in that I was intending to ask if homeowners on the lake choose housesitting in general (over winterization). Suspect most do as you have suggested & go w/ a service to monitor property or have nifty gadgets allowing for instant access. But intention was to be "sitter" for homeowner (if market exists) while being able to monitor our building project & avoid commute. It's a half-selfish question. Another option could be to inquire about local 4 season rentals but from what I saw for results from search online, that would consume the kitchen cabinet budget.
