<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">This final piece of the transition happens behind closed doors, no cameras allowed.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The residence staff of the White House will be working furiously Monday on deadline to move the Bidens out and the Trumps in.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Gary Walters, the former White House chief usher for 21 years who attended five presidential move-in days, told ABC News the process is &#8220;organized chaos.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">According to Walters, the activity inside the White House is a well-organized ballet with &#8220;choreography that has to be minute-by-minute.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Walters served seven presidents and first families at the White House, including during the Reagan, Clinton, and both Bush administrations.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;We have approximately five, five-and-a-half hours from the time they leave the North Portico until after the parade,&#8221; he said, emphasizing the short turnaround time.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;It&#8217;s somewhere in the vicinity of 110 people and they all have very specific jobs,&#8221; Walters added about the moving teams. &#8220;We also not only have the House, we have the West Wing and, specifically, the president&#8217;s Oval Office that gets transformed.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Moving trucks are ready to go on the White House South Lawn driveway &#8212; empty ones moving away the outgoing family&#8217;s possessions, as well as ones loaded with the belongings of the incoming family.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The goal is to make the White House feel like home &#8212; or as homey as a 132-room mansion that is also a living museum of American history &#8212; can feel.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Are you going to use pieces of furniture that you want to bring into the White House, or are you going to use furniture that is in our inventory, some of which may be there, some of which may be in storage?&#8221; Walters said, shedding light on the questions the staff must ponder.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The staff works frantically to make sure everything is just right when the first family walks into the White House for the first time.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;The aim of the residence staff is to have the president and the first lady move into their home when they come in from the Pennsylvania Avenue reviewing stand that their snacks are in the kitchen,&#8221; Walters said. &#8220;Their favorite items are where they expect them to be. There are no boxes unopened. They&#8217;re all open … It&#8217;s all set up beforehand. And when they walk in, they don&#8217;t see any unpacked boxes or extra storage items sitting around.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;To get together with the president and the first lady is usually quite emotional because &#8230; family and the staff get to know each other pretty well,&#8221; Walters said.</p>
