peer agreement (net): +2volige(age) jointif Explanation: is what I think they mean. This is "close boarding" in English, the boards beneath the roof covering to which the covering (slates, tiles, etc.) is fixed. cf http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1412005 volige - Planche légère de sapin ou de peuplier ... utilisée en couverture pour composer des platelages jointifs : les voliges, clouées horizontalement sur les chevrons, servent à fixer les couvertures en ardoises, bardeaux, feuilles métalliques, etc. [there is a picture of 'volige jointif' showing boards butting against each other] voligeage - Ensemble des voliges qui composent un platelage ... [Dicobat] close boarding - Timber boarding, usually square-edged planks laid side-by-side to form a continuous surface for fixing insulation, or as a deck for supprted sheetmetal roofing and roof tiles ...
