Has anyone experienced something similar? We insulated the friggebod this summer, and now when we come out, either the ceiling has lifted or the inner wall has sunk! The studs for the wall are on the floor, so the floor must have sunk, but I can't see that either. The ceiling consists of drywall screwed directly onto the rafters. It's strange anyway. The corresponding wall looks the same but with a smaller gap. Anyone have any ideas?

Ceiling space above the wall showing a gap between the plasterboard ceiling and the wall in a shed.
 
Spontaneously, you never screw gypsum directly into the rafters as they move with wind and snow load. However, that might not be what's happened here.
 
Can the rafters have shrunk a bit now that it has been winter and dry? Do you have plaster or wood panels on the walls?
 
The wall in the picture is a drywall. The others are wood paneling. Shouldn't the rafters have already shrunk last winter? At that time, the cabin wasn't insulated.
Could they have shrunk 30 mm?
 
No, not 30 mm. It must be something else.
 
I don't understand what it is I'm seeing in the picture?

It's not that there's been a lot of snow on the roof this winter that's caused it to bend down? Now that the snow has disappeared, the roof has returned to its original position.
 
I don't understand what it is we're seeing in the picture. Maybe take a picture of a slightly larger area?
 
How is the shed founded? Could it be some weird effect of frost heave or ground settlement?
 
Guess the ceiling doesn't like the choice of molding :p

No one really understands that strange picture?
I'm guessing the valve is on a wall. (Is it a valve by the way?)
What are the striped parts, with three stripes in a group; wallpaper?
What is the dark blue stripe?
Which is the ceiling?

(Why do you put drywall on the ceiling in a shed?)

More and better descriptive pictures, please!
 
Is it so hard to see? You can see the wall with wallpaper, a blue ceiling mold, and then the gap up towards the ceiling.

Then I don't know why the wall has sunk or the ceiling has risen.
