this is my very first grow, im planning on fruiting in a clear tote with perlite 2 inches on the bottom moistening it with distilled water and putting my all in one mycelium brick on aluminum foil. im using natural light from windows and ill be misting/ fanning 3-4 times a day does this sound correct and also my house temp is at 70 at all times

Tempurature sounds perfect.
Do you have a Tek ur following to dial in the FC or just winging it? How bigs your tote? I'd start by search post the size tote you have and see if there are any good teks for it so you dont end up starving it of FAE at wrong times or to much. Same with misting, if your tub is dialed in right you can mostly set and forget after your pins set from what i understand.
What you're doing sounds exactly like how i fruited my first "grow kit" mistake of a mycellium block but instead of perlite i used some Coir.  Turned out ok but ill never use a grow kit again. Such a waste of a montob as well for jsut one small cake.
Make sure you're using the light (in-direct light) from the sun or else your sub will heat up and encourage contam growth.
There's not really a set amount of times to mist and fan especially with winging it tek boxes, you'll have to go with feel and since this is your first tub just let it be a learning experience. Heres a ogod write up from my notebook on how to keep ideal surface conditions for your sub since you dont have the green eyes yet SUBSTRATE CARE conditioning and when to increase FAE
Anyway, anymore questions? good luck! also if u can put up some pictures! they always help us help you and it's easier than explaining ur whole situation in words 
I'm no professional and everything i just said is opinion and could be wrong, i'd wait for more experienced advice to make any big decisions.

im mostly just winging it and i planned on drilling a couple holes in it like you have above and also im using The All-in-One Coir Cultivator Growth Substrate - Sterilized Spawn and Substrate - Fast Colonization, Robust Mycelium Growth 2.5 bag and planning on putting it on aluminum foil on top of perlite in a 66 qaurt tote once its grown into that hard brick, kinda like you have yours on coco coir
im mostly just following what i seen in this video

That will get you some mushrooms! If you plan on carrying on with the hobby id look into starting cultures on Agar instead of yoloing a spore syringe into a grain bag, that's always hit or miss cause spore syringes aren't inherently contam free. But with agar you can start your spores on a 2D surface and isolate away from potential contams and i know that might sound complicated but it's really not. Basically instead of praying you didnt introduce contams to the bag via syringe you start the syringe on an agar dish that allows you to see visually if you have contams or not and take myc away from it before introducin it to grain, heres a link that explains that all in depth But worse comes to worse you'll get a few fruits to a trich/mold finish like grow kits like to be. Hopefully you got lucky and get a solid healthy brick like i did first try with a syringe straight into bag. Fingers crossed for you! \
Also here's a good tek for 66qt from Pasty, but its for mono. Should work almost same if ur just putting a brick in it except it wont have such a dense microclimate since it wont be as full.
