What Is Going On Over There???

So back in late '17, the neighbors on both sides died, one was a widow in her late 80's, the other a gal in her early 50's w/ respiratory issues. Both houses were empty for over a year, which was kind of nice. A buddy I've known for over 30 years bought the widow's house last October, and the other house went into foreclosure and the bank that wound up with it let it sit for a whole year.
Finally, in Jan. of this year it went to the Sheriff's Auction, and some flipper bought it. He hired some day-workers to rehab it and over the course of about 3mos. brought it into the 21st century. A few weeks ago I saw the flipper-dude and spoke with him for the first time; he offered me a tour and I said sure - I was curious to see what they did. He told me he had accepted an offer (which was about $30K more than I would've guessed) and that the new owners were a "military couple" and they were closing in a couple of weeks.
So I've been watching, wanting to meet/introduce myself to my new neighbors. Haven't seen anyone yet. But a couple of days ago, I noticed some black plastic on the inside of their windows that face my house. So I went and walked around the place - the entire first floor except for a small bedroom is blacked out.
My curiosity is killing me! I have to know! What is going on over there???

Their electric meter faces my house. I'll go check to see how fast it's spinning. Maybe the fact that they paid considerably more for the house than it's worth belies their illicit profession.
That's perfect. Because everybody knows I love to swing.
Hehehe... when we (me and my late wife) bought this house in '82, living in that house were M/M Charles Brown. He was a retired cop and didn't like being called Charlie Brown. Dorothy was the neighborhood-watch committee all rolled into one person; she knew everything that went on, nobody moved without her knowing about it. At first I thought 'ugh, a nosey old woman' but then I became grateful that I had a built-in burglar alarm living right next door. Maybe I've turned into Dorothy Brown, IDK?

But unless they're doing whatever it is that they are doing after midnight, I haven't seen anything at all.

I'll just have to wait until their production makes it onto the web.

Course it could be a sleeper cell bomb factory.
