He wasn't referencing water coming from the stand... water evaporation will be soaked up by the sheet rock. You should pick up green board because it will not take in moisture.

Well guess it's not too important to you the thought of breathing in excessive amounts of mildew... That sheet rock will not hold up that long, so if you are not planning on replacing it anytime soon maybe you might want to redo it properly.

Just some advice.

+1 they are right about the greenboard but if you dont want to replace all that you did then at least get some water sealer or a really goodmold and mildew proof paint and primer Zinnser or Kilz and coat the walls inside and out.

Make sure all the gaps between the rock and framing are sealed or water proof paint will mean nothing. It takes VERY little moisture for sheet rock to become a mildew breeding ground. I just finished my basement and the cost difference for green board was minimal and WELL worth the piece of mind.
