What could they be doing in there?

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.

Such a bizarre take lol

My guess.

Neighbor tried to DIY a large project and got partway through and realized he was out of his depth. He bought the supplies weeks/months ago and they sat there, then he did some work, then then he got to the "oops" place where he realized he had no idea how to fix the problem he had created.

The large company is coming in to fix. The first 1-2 visits are undoing what he already did. The most recent visit, they needed extra hands to move something large or to do two tasks at once to speed up the fix. They need tools because DIY dude did buy the stuff to use, but they are fixing it. They occasionally need small parts or equipment that they need to add to make things up to code. Those are the trips in and out to the vans and the doors slamming. But the items they need are small, hand-held items just needed because it was something that the home owner did not know he needed to add. But the pros know that he needs it.

My inner monologue doesn't revolve around "What are my neighbors doing!!?!?!?!?!"

You never wonder about your neighbors, ever. Got it.
