Having some issues that I believe are frost-related. I live in Kronoberg County.
Split-level house. The balcony rests on a beam supported by three posts. On top of the balcony, there are two beams going up to the roof overhang. These have pushed up the roof in two places, see picture. What should I do now? Cut down the posts in height or cut the roof at the points where the posts are pushing?

I would leave it be, it goes back when the frost leaves the ground; if you have cut off the posts, they won’t reach down instead. During the summer months, you should insulate the plinths which I assume the posts stand on, so it doesn't happen again.
Difficult considering that I spent my last vacation laying paving stones under the balcony 
I hope this cold doesn't last too long as it looks like the roof boards might soon break.....

I myself made a mistake by the storage door so I have to dig up and insulate there when the frost has lifted, it can't be more than 2-3 months now until spring :wow:
