Creatively brilliant.
I wonder how many people would have come up with the possibility of using a tent inside a shop? A room within the room so to speak. Pretty similar to paint booths and such in body shops but still an out of the box way of looking at things.
Anybody who has built a temporary clean room perhaps 
I am the one who knocks.
Now that I see you have a barn (to be so lucky), have you considered just framing up a small room from 2x4s and sheathing it with rigid insulation? It’s inside a pole barn, so it doesn’t need to be structurally strong, just something to hang the sheets of insulation on. That gives you dust protection, a fairly cheap room and something that is easier to air condition than a tent.
By now you should have noticed that the Glowforge community is really encouraging you to find a solution and get burning. Someone gave you the machine because they believe in your talent - we are here to cheer you on and await the posting of your first project.
I am totally seeing how great this community is! I’m so grateful this exists!
I think that’s what’s were going to end up doing…my husband is looking into options. Also, how can we efficiently AND effectively keep a small area cool and as dust free as possible.
So this morning I was able to come up with a temporary solution to at least unpack & set up my new GF. Its not ideal but at least I can start to get to know my new machine!!! My hubby is looking into long term options to make a “room” out in the shop.
Mini room inside your shed + portable AC unit 
(or small window AC unit if you’re feeling your framing skills)
And an air filtration setup.
You’re going to be sucking a ton of air in to whatever structure you use, and with it all the dust.
