Claim:
A system for securing at least one rafter with a portion of roof sheathing; the system comprising: a bracket having first and second generally planar sections that are perpendicularly oriented with respect m one another, whereby the bracket is bent at an angle, between the first and second planar sections, at or approximating ninety degrees; a plurality of laterally spaced, rigid protrusions extend outwardly from a first surface of the first planar section and define a fill gap that extends between the first planar section and a height equal to distal ends of the protrusions; the first surface of the first planar section facing away from the second planar section; a plurality of laterally spaced adhesive fill apertures penetrating the first planar section and in open fluid communication with the fill gap; and a plurality of laterally spaced fastener apertures penetrating the second planar section; whereby when installed the protrusions are positioned to simultaneously engage a planar surface and position the fill gap between the first surface of the first planar section and the planar surface, the fill gap configured to receive an adhesive.
