Pennsylvania teachers heading out of state to find jobs. Hunting for a position as a first-grade teacher in Pennsylvania became a full-time job for Williams Township native Sarah Widmer. After Widmer graduated from Shippensburg University in 2012, she immediately began her job hunt, applying to every school district in Pennsylvania; all 500 of them.
By Definition. A single board foot of lumber measures 1 inch thick, 12 inches wide and 12 inches long. The formula for calculating board feet is first to multiply thickness by width by length -- in inches. Then divide the total by 144 for the total board footage of a given board.
A board foot is equal in volume to a square foot of lumber 1 thick. A square foot of lumber/flooring, etc. would be 12 x 12 (or similar dimensions totaling 144 square inches), but could be of any thickness. If you know the thickness, you could calculate the board footage from the square footage.
