How safe does this look? Help!

Say hello to my new green house. Its sitting on a plastic bag with a tub I hack sawed and glued together with silicone sealer with a brand new tarp inside. My plan as you can see will be to set the fan and humidifier on a timer to keep humidity up with the doors cracked for fresh air exchange.
What are the odds this thing will leak? I'm guessing slim to none with how much protection on the floor but what do you think?
Is it safe to have the humidifier inside the greenhouse? With a 100% humidity environment any chances it could cause a fire or problems with the machine inside? (Might be a stupid question)
Any other thoughts or comments? I plan to put a layer of perlite on the floor to help capture and recycle water. Look OK?

One more question....what's this gonna do to the humidity in my room? Should I buy a dehumidifier to stick in my corner or something?

Looks like a good setup. I use a humidifier/fogger setup in winter but for the humidifier unit I pump it in. I was thinking the same as you concerning electrical problems from wetness. You could try modifying the top and piping the humid air in. I used a cut bleach bottle, silicone & vacuum hose

OK so if I do pump it in I should stick it in the top?

Hey, I am curious about the perlite too. Is condensation in general a problem inside of an FC and is perlite a good solution to this? Are there any other alternatives.

like, wouldn't a pool of water eventually form at the bottom if you don't do anything about it... I guess the FAE would clear out some of it.
