Nope not a mom, I'm a full blown dad with (1) 14 year old. And lots of experience in working different fields and making them work together

Regarding waste heat, in a former life I used to deal a lot with Energy Management and there's a whole science to dealing with it. Albeit it's typically done on a far larger scale.

Regarding evaporative cooling do you have humidity issues while using it.

Not much in the way of humidity in the house, the air moves fairly well, ( i forgot to mention the ceiling fan in my earlier post ) with the addition of the ceiling fan keeping the air circulating there doesn't seem to be any noticeable humidity issues. I should say that it doesn't seem to make the humidity worse.

I'm pretty used to working outside in 90-110 heat/humidity. I've got a little fan that I use, but other than that, I just sweat like a pig and drink lots of water. My shop has a good air flow when all the doors are up < 2 in front, 1 in back> but where my teardown bench is, doesn't get much circulation.

Side note- If you do drink alot of bottled water, or really anything in a plastic bottle, they are great for putting your small screws and misc small shred in and make it easy to bring to the scrap yard (eliminates buckets if you don't have a fridge or appliance going to the yard too)
