Hello all, after trying to figure out how to achieve this on my own site for a few hours I figured it out.
You need to edit style.css and replace

.home .hentry, .archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

with

.home .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0 0 20px 0;
	font-size: 1em;
}
.archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

And then in the wordpress reading settings page change the frontpage to be the static page you want.

I used this for the static page home issue and it worked great – except the footer now displays alongside to the right of the page instead of at the bottom. Anyone know how to return it to normal?

Looks like this.
