What could they be doing in there?

PP is right--very likely some kind of troubleshooting. But a neighborly way to start a conversation might also be to ask if they recommend that company for service.

My husband has a grow room... to start his heirloom tomatoes from seed. I don't think you'd need 3 trucks to repair an irrigation system for that.

I love that OP is baffled that someone could be doing plumbing or electrical work on a house without bringing in a bunch of new pipes or wires

Probably surveilling you. They are actually feds.

Trades people don't have the best educations. I am sure OP's Ivy degree could do the work more efficiently and cheaper. That's why she is concerned.

If I see a plumber parked in front of my neighbor’s house and they’re doing anything less than hauling a huge bathtub in or out of there, I’m calling the cops.

It could be a complicated system that they are trouble shooting.

Maybe they are there for personal reasons, a family member perhaps stopping by and shooting the breeze?

The thing is, they never take anything in, and never bring anything out. No furnace. No AC unit. No water heater. No large amounts of duct work, pipe, wire, etc etc. A third truck just pulled up. I sit on conference calls all day and I’ve just been watching essentially nothing happen for two weeks.

I’d ask him but he’s sort of mean and not approachable. Any ideas, DCUM, on what they could be doing in there without a large amount of supplies, for two weeks?

Unless you're going to be stuck with paying for them, it really doesn't concern you. Get a life!

+1. You know they are up to no good if they don't have a tub.

OP here. They’re back again. Two trucks this time. Watched them carry in a bucket. Nothing else.

Everyone giving OP a hard time has no curiosity or imagination and must be really boring people—but typical of DCUM where everyone calls troll for anything that doesn’t fit into their narrow view of what life is like. Probably weird no inner monologue people.

OP here. Everyone who thinks I’m serious lacks a sense of humor. It’s just something bizarre that I’m watching happen in front of me, and I’m seeking humor in my day. Such stuffy folks. Everything is serious, nothing can be funny.

They’re done already. Maybe it’s over.
