Couple dozen more screws to put in, but nothing structural so giving my shoulders a little time to heal before finishing those. Next up electricity! Oh, and need to paint my walk doors so I can put the hardware on em and lock it.

Conduit I hope. Doesn't look like the framing has holes for wiring. If it does, and you don't use conduit, don't forget the grommets at each place the wiring goes through the framing.
Conduit though would be the better choice. Gauge 12 wire or 14? 14 is good up to 15 Amp circuits, 12 is good up to 20 Amp circuits. Normal/standard house wiring these days is 14 (15 amp breakers). If the cost isn't prohibitive, I'd suggest using gauge 12 wire and using 20 amp breakers since this is a shop and it is possible you would use a piece of equipment which comes close to the 15 amp draw. For instance I have a 110v arc welder that pulls almost 15 amps at the highest setting, my house was built in the 50s and the whole thing is wired at gauge 12 wire so I can feel confident in knowing that my little homeowner's welder won't trip the breaker.
Overbuilt can be a good thing.
