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.

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.
What is the average board length? Board length is very important to produce a beautiful floor, especially in a large room. 1â and 2â lengths of flooring produce a choppy unattractive floor. The average length of most Canadian manufactured hardwood flooring is 27-29â. Be sure to ask what length of box the flooring is packed in. Most imported hardwood flooring boxes are only 3â and 4â in length. Most Canadian manufactured hardwood flooring comes in boxes up to 6.5â. Short boxes = Short Flooring.
