A pneumatic air tool (jackhammer) was used to lower some concrete blocks on the exterior of our garage. I was inside the house recording it with a zoom h2 recorder.

Field recording of a building construction plant in the outskirts of paris, france. Drilling, hammering, and other construction noises. Recorded with a zoom h2n in x/y stereo mode.
