troubleshoot crown mldg



anyone ever seen crown molding seperate from the ceiling?

it's all throughout the house, every room

1/4 - 3/8" long gaps...
the ceiling looks very flat

the gaps are at the top of the mldg, it seperates from the ceiling, you
see the caulking
pulling here and there...the caulk does not stretch...

so it needs a caulk job, but I cannot imagine what is causing this

during the summer there are no cracks
during the winter it looks awful

my guess is that the house shrinks during the winter
even the house has settle on one side leaving small
stress crack in an interior wall...

but this shrink swell winter summer mlding pulling loose

i have never seen this

it's all painted see...
