No, this is good for way, way, way more than just a month. Designing / decorating your own house is a big thing, it can keep people occupied for basically forever. As long as there are updates coming to things you can put into the house / around it (eg, why not *build* a custom barn specifically tailored for your elekks of what have you) / new houses.
Plus there can be professions related to gathering / processing lumber with recipes for things, dyes, rugs, furs, this can all be bought and sold on the auction house, etc.
