An apparatus for connecting a squared hip blocking member to a vertical face of a top chord of a hip truss or girder truss in both a skewed and sloped orientation relative to the face of the top chord, the apparatus comprising: 1) a mounting plate, 2) a substantially U-shaped bucket having a floor depending from the mounting plate at a preselected slope and skew relative to normal, and 3) a stop plate mounted normal to the floor and within the U-shaped bucket against which an end of the elongated wood member is abutted when properly seated in the apparatus. Four general embodiments of the apparatus are disclosed, each differing in the direction from which the bucket depends from the mounting plate. The degree of slope and skew may vary depending on the pitch of the roof being constructed.
