I did it myself.All the sections just twisted together to interlock. I first installed the through-the-wall fitting. The outside has a base bracket that lags into the wall. From there you simply stacked each section on top of each other and secured in a couple spots to the wall with brackets. I think it took me a 1/2 day. Inside I just ran regular stove pipe.

I to have installed several wood burning stoves and as you say they aren't that difficult, but I'm more concern with the few elbows going around windows that need to be installed and I want a responsible person to do the installation as that way they carry the burden of ensuring the proper draft for the burner.
I have never had or heard that a power vent had caused a neg. pressure to anyone's that I know that have them installed except for one in a enclosed boiler room.
