If you need to paint multiple balusters prior to installation, here’s a simple solution that worked for me. I drove nails through a small piece of plywood so the nails were showing when I flipped the board back over. I drilled holes slightly bigger than the nails in the end of each baluster which allowed the baluster to slip over the nail as shown in the picture. I began painting at the nail hole end, slid the baluster over the nail and was able to spin it as needed for painting. When done, I left it in place and moved on to the others. Then just left in place to dry.

One side of my concrete driveway is against the side of my 60 yr. old house. There is a gap of between 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap between house and driveway. When there is a heavy rain I always have at least 4 trails of water coming from my basement wall going to the drain. What can I put in this gap to stop the leak. I would like to waterproof my basement wall but I think I need to address the problem on the outside first.
In the past I've pour asphalt driveway sealer in the crack. It works for a while, sometimes a year. Any better suggestions?
