Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as a constitutional law professor, most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution..
Hip roof. A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical sides to the roof. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid.
A gable roof is one of the simplest roofs to construct, but it isn't the best choice in high-wind areas. The wind can work its way under the roofing materials and peel them off, and it can also blow under the soffit and lift the roof right off the structure.
