So you're moving out. I understand why you feel you need to do that - I'd do it myself if I had an option.
Being "in house" has pros and cons. One of the cons, imho, is that the LBS can come more quickly to resent the WAS/MLC because everything is so right-there-in-your-face.
It sounds like, for right now anyway, that everyone is being friendly in your sitch. I hope it all works to your advantage.
Cheers!

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
