RE: How often should milestones be included
As a general rule, line items should be on the order of 80 to 160 hrs, at which point, you should have some sort of quantifiable or measureable output that you can take create for if you are doing earned-value reporting.
Tasks that are too long, e.g., several hunderd hrs with no intermediate output can quickly lead you astray, until it's too late to recover.

For example completion of the telecom wiring duct system, ready for installation of telephone wiring by others would be a milestone. I thus get a lot more of them nearing the end of a construction project when the efforts of others start to come into play.
