Apart from American Pigeons go "Coo, coo", and Polish Pigeons go "Cooski, cooski" !!

As I looked up into the sky, a Pigeon sh*t right in my eye. I did not curse, I did not cry - I just thanked God that cows can't fly !

I for one hope there is a faithful rendition of pigeon poop on the floor

It is not a real hanger without poop and oil stains!

"Well...if you leave things sitting around unfinished, they're bound to get broken" - Teddy Hugo Edward Butler
With that in mind and with the pictures above to prove it, I best get a move on! Though the advise from Terry and especially Wojtek would have worked AND given me more head-room I elected to go with my original plan and shave the top edge of the two side walls down at an angle to match the curve of the roof rafters. Sorry brothers!
First I setup a heavy metal straightedge to scribe a line that would act as a bottom guide as to what material to remove. I checked the distance of the straightedge from the top of the walls with the depth measuring end of my caliper to assure the line would be parallel. Using the pointed scribing tool I scored a deep line across the top of the brick work on both side walls.
After that it was all file, sand and scrape until both walls were done and I was covered in styrene snow! It was slow going, whipping away the chips and checking my progress every so often, but I had just updated my Ipod with new music so it was a bit of a treat.
Finally after cleaning up both side walls with a blow and a wet sponge it was FINALLY time to glue on the last of the windows. I used G-S HYPO Cement like I did with all the others and with a little patience and some toothpicks I was able to get the glue to stay on the clear styrene only when it was behind the white window frames. I weighted down both wall and window combinations with a bunch of books and 24 hours later it was done. Worked like a charm. Whew!
